Prism Teens Gatherings
Through our Prism Teens program, we host gatherings in Mobile, the Eastern Shore, and Gulf Shores for high-school-age LGBTQ+ youth. Led by trained facilitators, gatherings center around activities that utilize art, creative writing, games, movement, and other mediums to foster self-love and a sense of belonging. LGBTQ+ special guests, including professionals, artists, and community leaders, are periodically invited to speak about their experiences growing up, going to school, and pursuing a career.
Our Curriculum
The Prism Teens curriculum was developed as a foundation for the Prism Teens program. Built into the curriculum are 10 learning objectives that promote personal growth, empathy, resilience, and self-expression. Each activity is aligned with these objectives, ensuring a dynamic, purposeful experience at Prism Teens. Our curriculum also gives program participants an opportunity to learn about advocacy and LGBTQ+ history, empowering them to think about their place in the greater story of LGBTQ+ progress.

Program Perks
Discord
For teens who don’t have a means of transportation or live in an unsupportive household, attending Prism’s in-person gatherings can be a challenge. With this in mind, we invite members of Prism Teens to join our private Discord server where they can chat virtually with their peers and Prism’s support group facilitators. For access to the Prism Discord server, register for Prism Teens.
Prism Youth Library
Because we recognize the scarcity of LGBTQ-related characters and themes in youth literature, we’ve curated an LGBTQ+ young adult literature library with community support.
