Rainbow Alley
Rainbow Alley is a drop-in center designed to support GLBT youth and their allies ages 12-21. Our facility is a warm and welcoming environment, complete with supportive adults and youth. The Alley provides health services, counseling and referral, youth-lead events and activities, and life resources in a safe and supportive space.
Youth who access our facility are welcome to use our free services which include a medical clinic, computer lab, library, kitchen and open hang-out space. We also have a dance floor, pool tables, ping-pong table and a VCR/DVD player.
Our drop-in center at 1050 Broadway, behind The Center, is drug, alcohol, tobacco and hate-free. All Rainbow Alley activities are created and run by youth-participants with trained adults providing supervision. We believe in honoring individuality, empowerment, respect in our youth-adult partnership model of service delivery. Rainbow Alley focuses on peer-to-peer support and education. Youth leaders are trained in peer based support, safe sex education and HIV prevention.
