For Youth

THE CURVE is Going Strong! 

THE CURVE is a support program for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youth and their allies who are between the ages of 14 and 21.  We provide a safe, supportive, welcoming and fun environment for advocacy and educational and recreational activities. 
THE CURVE meets every other Thursday from 6:30 - 9:00 p.m. in the York health center.

Please join us on January 30, 7 p.m. at the York College Performing Arts Center for a return engagement of All The Kings Men! Last year's performance was fabulous and the "Talk Back" with the performers about their journeys of self-discovery were enlightening and heartfelt.
Tickets are $25 for the general public and only $5 with a student I.D. This event is being sponsored by York College Lambda and Planned Parenthood of Central PA. Contact Betsy at 717.845.9683 x 213 or betsy.buckingham@ppfa.org

Our upcoming meeting dates (please note holidays):
November 12 - December 10 - January 7 - January 21 - February 4 - February 18
