After walking in the St. John’s Pride Parade, YWCA St. John’s will be hosting a Peer Support Group for LGBTQIA+ Newcomers in the park.

This will give an opportunity for LGBTQIA+ newcomers to debrief about their experience walking in the parade, and discuss how to stay involved with the LGBTQIA+ community all year-round.

Our LGBTQIA+ Newcomer Peer Support Group is a confidential, non-judgmental space for participants to discuss shared experiences and support one another.

Meetings are peer-led, by volunteer facilitators with lived experience as LGBTQIA+ newcomers. The program aims to support the integration of LGBTQIA+ newcomers by providing information, guidance, and connection to others.

Please note: This meeting will NOT offer an option to join virtually.
