Teen Pride Night - June

  • Firestone Community Center 1480 Girard Street Akron, OH, 44301 United States (map)

What is Pride to you? During June's Teen Pride night we are going to be exploring pride through writing.

The evening will begin with an informal discussion about the attendees’ and volunteers’ previous experience, comfort level, and familiarity with poetry. Once we’re all acquainted with one another and the art of the written word, we will invite participants to write about their experience with Pride, both as a month of celebration and a feeling. Participants will be given guided instruction which will lead to their writing a poem of their own.

Participants will be able to share what they have written if they are comfortable doing so. We look forward to celebrating the writer in everyone! You do not need to identify as a writer to enjoy this program!

Teen Pride Night is open to all LGBTQIA youth and their allies.
