Summer 2024
Rochester Community Education is excited to announce our LGBTQ+ Youth Summer Calendar.
![LGBTQ+ Youth Summer Calendar. Each row has a date, time, and location listed](https://cmsv2-assets.apptegy.net/uploads/17120/file/3265104/d10882f6-b049-4b8b-9a43-43a7ba3c0f1b.png)
Events are for youth entering grades 6-12. Allies and LGBTQ+ youth are welcome.
Events are free to attend (with the exception of rock climbing which will cost $5.)
We encourage you to help us prepare for each event by registering online. (Registration is required for rock climbing and The Great Rainbow Bake Off.)
We invite LGBTQ+ adults to volunteer at many of the events. Please read below for information about how to get involved.
Many events are hosted by community partners. We are grateful to the many organizations and individuals who have made this program possible.
LGBTQ+ Adult Volunteers Needed
Event Volunteers
LGBTQ+ adults are invited to volunteer at events as positive role models. Volunteers accompany youth on group activities such as gardening, baking, or career and college tours. Our volunteers all say the same thing: I wish I could have done this as a kid. These unique interactions allow community members to support youth in a concrete and meaningful way.
Time Commitment: One or more events. Choose events that fit your schedule and interests. Events will take place June - August 2024.
How to Participate: Press the button below to view the event registration page. Each event has a "Youth Enroll Now" button. Events that need volunteers also have a "Volunteer Enroll Now" button. Sign up for as many events as you want and complete the volunteer background check.
Community Partners
The 2024 LGBTQ+ Youth Summer Calendar is generously supported by funding from the Rochester Public Schools Foundation.
