FOURTH FRIDAYS
for grades 9-12
a social group for LGBTQIA+ high schoolers and their Allies
LGBTQIA+ youth and their allies from Westchester and the surrounding counties are welcome to attend! Come meet other LGBQTIA+ high schoolers and broaden your circle of friends and allies. You’ll be welcome and accepted exactly as you are.
We get together in downtown Peekskill at the public library building on the Fourth Friday night of each month, October thru June, from 5:30pm-7:30pm.
Join us for dinner, meet new friends, enjoy games and activities, and just relax. Come and be your true authentic self.
This is a free program. It's a community effort, run by trained volunteers, in collaboration with Peekskill Pride, and made possible by grant funding and community partnerships!
