Roots LGBTQIA+ Teen Meet Up

In collaboration with North Adams Pride! the ROOTS Teen Center will be hosting an event every Tuesday from 4-6PM throughout May and June.

Each Tuesday ROOTS is having a LGBTQIA+ Teen Meet Up with NA Pride where LGBTQIA+ Teenagers are welcome to come and join us during Drop-In, engaging in conversations with NA Pride members, ROOTS Staff and each other. Topics can be open and in the moment or pre-arranged and discussed. Specifically, on June 6 from 4-6PM, ROOTS is having a LGBTQIA+ Craft Zone with North Adams Pride in preparation for Pride Night on June 23. Teens will work alongside NA Pride members to create decorations for the event and get to know one another.  They usually have a LGBTQIA+ Teen Meet Up on Tuesdays and this event will be filling that gap for this week.

Friday June 9, Vuronika Baked is hosting the second part of Drag Cooking: Dessert Edition. You do not need to have went to the first workshop to go to this one. Teens and Vuronika will work side by side in creating sugar cookies that they will decorate and take home with them.

Teens are joined by adult members of North Adams Pride and ROOTS Staff in creating artwork that will be displayed at North Adams Pride's 3rd Annual Pride Night Celebration, being held on June 23 from 5-9:30PM in Courtyard A of Mass MoCA. 

Teens are also able to access all the cool things that come with hanging out during Drop-In, such as gaming consoles, a pool table, snacks and much more!
