Queer Youth Prom: Cosmic Jubilee
Get ready for an unforgettable night of cosmic queer magic at the 2025 Queer Youth Prom on Saturday, May 24th, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM! The theme of the evening is Cosmic Jubilee: think planets, galaxies, and celestial vibes. The stars will align for a night full of dazzling outfits, fabulous memories, and lots of queer joy!
Prom is free. Space is limited to 150 youth. If you have registered for Prom, we will reach out by Friday, May 2 to confirm your spot!
This year, instead of our usual action-packed Queer and Allied Youth Summit, we’re leaning into queer joy and putting all our energy into prom! This year we recognize the increased need from LGBTQ+ youth to focus on connection and joy, in addition to our other statewide events that center leadership and organizing. In response, we shifted our traditional Queer and Allied Youth Summit to solely center the beloved Queer Prom! This shift allows us to highlight what youth love most from previous years about this big, queer end-of-year celebration.
Come as your most fabulous self as we celebrate the amazing accomplishments of GSAs, youth organizers, youth-led campaigns, and of course DANCE!
