Queers and Allies (Q&A) of Coos County is a space for 2SLGBTQ+ youth to hang out, make new friends, and get their needs met. The program is open to 13-24 year olds. Activities are planned and decided upon by the youth attendees and range from BBQs at the beach to movie nights, and cooking lessons to playing games. Everything we do it free to attendees. Transportation is also available if you reach out ahead of time.
We engage with local advocacy efforts for historically marginalized communities and are a neurodiverse group who welcomes all people. Aside from having a social outlet, the group supports each other with navigating health care needs, school issues, accessing therapy, getting jobs, and connecting them with the Gender Affirmation Closet if there is a need.
