The program has a welcoming and affirming format, which starts with a review of our ground rules, followed by a check-in, announcements, and then we shift into that day’s topic or activity. The youth contribute to helping us design the program and selecting topics and activities. Topics typically range from medically accurate, age-appropriate sexuality education, advocacy and empowerment, crafts and games, film showings, and guest speakers and visitors.  

While most of the youth identify as LGBTQ+, we also have allies that regularly attend. The program is funded and run by Planned Parenthood Keystone, and we are grateful to Reading High School for giving us space. We know how nervous many youth are the first time they come, and we make a point of welcoming and including them.
