The Rainbow Collective of Chester County is a vibrant partnership between the LGBT Equality Alliance of Chester County and Planned Parenthood Southeastern PA.
Our meetings are primarily for LGBTQIA+ identifying youth ages 14-18 and facilitated by Planned Parenthood Southeastern PA staff alongside trained volunteers. Our purpose for starting these groups was to create an environment where LGBTQ+ young people can feel accepted and empowered, and where sexual and gender identity can be embraced without fear of violence, harassment, or judgment. During the meetings, we host activities, games, discussions, and education to stay connected and exchange resources during this time. We understand that now more than ever it is important we remain connected during these uncertain times, and foster safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth to be their authentic selves.
There are two groups: Rainbow Collective Phoenixville and Rainbow Collective SPOT in West Chester. Each one meets twice a month, on alternating weeks; they are the same contents, just different locations and times. Youth are welcome to attend one or both locations. Specific meeting details will be provided upon registration. This form registers you to sign up for the email list that notifies you about meetings across both locations.
Please contact River, lead facilitator, with any questions or concerns at spot@ppsp.org. After registering, we will be in touch to provide additional information about the group such as time and location.
Please be assured that all information submitted through this form is always kept confidential and is solely for internal use in order to verify eligibility and security. We cannot make exceptions for omitting any required information. If you have any concerns, feel free to direct them to spot@ppsp.org.
