Even with the passing of same-gender marriage and the increasing visibility of LGBTQ+ community members in mainstream media, LGBTQ+ youth still face higher rates of bullying, suicide, depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse, and homelessness.
As the first LGBTQ+ Center in the Bay Area Peninsula, the San Mateo County Pride Center is proud to host a number of services to connect youth across the County and build a thriving LGBTQ+ youth space.
Here at the Pride Center, we celebrate LGBTQ+ youth and host a number of different programs for LGBTQ+ youth ages 10-30 that range from different social events and support groups to the Pride Center’s first youth leadership program!
