About

Salem Rainbow Youth creates safe, welcoming spaces for LGBTQIA+ youth and their friends to find connection and support across Marion and Polk Counties. Youth groups for middle- and high-school-aged people 18 and under meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month in Salem, with check-ins, snacks, discussions, workshops, games, arts and crafts, homework help, and chill time. A concurrent parent support group runs at the same location.

You can start by just showing up.
