    Friday Night Group

    A fun, social gathering for LGBTQ+ and questioning youth 13-19.

    Friday Night Group (FNG) is a great way for you to find your people! It’s a social and support group for LGBTQ+ and questioning youth ages 13-19. Thanks to community partners and a local pizza place (or four), dinner is provided at Friday Night Group. (Ask us about vegan options.)

    Themed Super Social FNGs add a little sparkle to the regular meetups, like Halloween costume extravaganzas and the occasional open mic night!

    FNG has met every week since Outright began in 1989 - holidays and snow days included. All youth should have the opportunity to be among friends - and to be seen and celebrated for being your amazing self!

Whole families are invited - parents, caregivers, and siblings included - to build community and a sense of belonging.
