YAS! (Your Authentic Self!) Fridays are just that - a safe, inclusive space for young people (ages 11-18) to be their most authentic selves. This drop-in open house for Queer** Youth offers a safe space to meet new friends, grab something to eat or drink, hang out, talk to a counselor, participate in an activity, or access resources.
Connect every Friday from 11a - 3p with a network of support, access important resources, chat with counselors, and grab food and drink, all in a place of like-minded, understanding people. Each week we offer creative and fun activities in a space with other young people.
YAS! Fridays are drug, alcohol, vape, tobacco, and hate-free.
Fridays - 11 - 3 p.m.

What happens at YAS! Fridays @ the PfCA?
If it is your first time visiting, you will go through a super short interview with a team member. The interview is to know your contact information, any important needs you may have, and the best way to offer support. Once you are finished you will be given a badge, information on our valley-wide programs, and a tour of our Community Space, Young Adult Space, Lunchroom, and Garden.
