As the season blossoms, so do opportunities to get involved. March is packed with programs that bring LGBTQ+ youth and their families together, creating spaces for connection, support, and celebration. It’s also Art Month, and we’re channeling that creativity as we prepare for our biggest youth event of the year, Prism Prom on April 5th. Whether you’re attending a core program gathering, lending your artistic talents, or looking for ways to give back, there’s something for everyone to be part of this month.
We’re calling on our community to help our programs thrive. If you’ve been looking for a way to volunteer, meet new people, or make a difference, now is the perfect time to jump in. From event support to mentorship opportunities, your time and energy can help our work bloom, and your creativity can make Prism Prom unforgettable.

Nearly 50 of us came together for a fantastic time at our Prism Social this past Sunday! Huge thanks to Noah at Eastern Shore Lanes for his incredible support (and for the adorable graphic on our lanes!).
