Reminder: Prism meets TONIGHT!! 6-8pm.
We love providing a safe space for queer youth to find community! If you aren't following Prism - The Center Project Youth Group...highly recommend! Prism meets every Thursday, with the last Thursday of each month being for high school age youth only.
NEW YOUTH: Arrive 30 mins early or set up appointment to complete intake forms. https://calendar.app.google/eHHMU44r3Gmmd3oU8
Now offering: Notary Services!
Why does The Center Project offer notary services? Notary appointments, which require showing valid, government-issued IDs, can be both cost-prohibitive and anxiety-inducing for LGBTQIA+ community members. Many of the processes that require notarization are potentially dysphoric and/or LGBTQIA+ people have been historically barred from participation.
How do people sign up? Schedule an appointment below, which includes information about what to bring to the appointment.
