Community & Donor Events

JOIN KYC AT OUR NEXT EVENT 
A Place to Belong, A Cause to Believe In.​

At Kaleidoscope Youth Center, we know that coming together BOLDLY as a community creates a powerful impact! While KYC provides opportunities for youth and young people, we’re equally excited to host events for donors and community members. Together, we can work toward building a safer, more affirming society for LGBTQIA+ youth!
KYC will host at least one event every month to strengthen our community and raise funds for our mission. The vision behind the KYC & Friends Campaign is to create a space where local and visiting Queer individuals can connect, feel affirmed, celebrated, and inspired. Together, we aim to mobilize a network of supporters who are passionate about championing KYC’s mission.

​Throughout the year, be on the lookout for FREE and charitable events designed to help us reach our goals and continue our vital work of supporting and affirming LGBTQIA+ youth and young people. Join us in building a stronger, more inclusive community!
