Local Groups for LGBTQIA+ Teens

[Anonymous]

Looking for information about in-person groups for LGBTQIA+ teens in the DC area. Teen who has recently come out would like to meet other LGBTQIA+ teens. Any suggestions or guidance for groups? I think he mostly just wants to make friends and have other teens to talk to. Thanks in advance!

Many middle schools and high schools have a Pride Club or a SGA - your teen may want to start there.

Thanks. He is enrolled in an online school, so this is not an option.

He could email moco pride (youth) and ask if he could join the org/discord server, although it's technically limited to MCPS students.

Lots of local synagogues and churches have teen groups too.

I volunteered there years ago. Great organization.
