Are you a young 2SLGBTQ+ identified person or ally in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley who is looking for a community? Are you interested in sharing some fun and friendship? If so, the Valley Youth Project might be just what you’re looking for! Whoever you are, we’d love to get to know you. We’d like the Valley to know about us too, so please spread the word.
The Valley Youth Project is open to all youth, 13 – 25, who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, transgender, intersex, two-spirit, queer, or questioning, as well as to straight and cisgender allies. If a youth under the age of 13 would like to attend drop-in please contact us ahead of time for a chat.
Drop-In Social Nights
Drop-in nights are on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, from September to June, at Kingstech in the cafeteria. There will be a minimum of two adult facilitators at each meeting, plenty of fun, and of course, new and old friends for you to meet.
Our gatherings are primarily social. Some activities we’ve done in the past include crafts like button-making or Pink Triangle Day cards, workshops like fiction writing or learning how to knit, games night, movie night, as well as field trips to Halifax. There is no regularly-scheduled drop-in during July and August, but we often organize summer field trips to Halifax Pride, the NS Youth Project’s Queer Prom, and other events.
Workshops and Resources
The Valley Youth Project’s volunteers can present workshops to your classroom, staff meeting, conference, or other event. The topic can range from an introduction to gender identity and sexual orientation, to a customized strategy session for the topics most important to you.
