Our Programs

Overview

OUT MetroWest offers free programs for LGBTQ+ and allied youth ages pre-K through age 29. Our programs connect youth with supportive peers and LGBTQ+ adult role models. Our programs are held outside of school hours and provide social connection, emotional support, and resources that meet the unique needs of LGBTQ+ youth. Youth may join our programs at any time during the year. Some of our offerings include:
