Welcome to Pride at Kaleidoscope Youth Center
Get ready for a month full of fun, community, and belonging!
What is Pride?
Pride is a special time where we celebrate and support all the different ways people can love and be themselves. Pride is a celebration of belonging. It's a time when we come together to celebrate who we are, love each other, and stand up for the rights of our LGBTQIA+ friends.
The first Pride was a protest for equal rights and fair treatment, and today we continue that tradition by coming together to celebrate our community and work towards a world where everyone belongs.
In 2024, Kaleidoscope Youth Center is celebrating 30 years of belonging, community, and Pride. Check out how to connect with KYC this pride season, and remember Belonging Begins Here.
