Lighthouse is a peer-to-peer social support program for LGBTQ+ youth and their allies, providing weekly and monthly groups and occasional special events. Our groups are relaxed and social in nature. We build community through art, games, and discussion. No bullying is ever allowed, and everyone is given a chance to be heard in a safe and casual setting. Youth from any town are welcome at any group or special event. Check out kic_lighthouse on Instagram or Facebook.com/KICLighthouse for up-to-date information.

Lighthouse serves lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer+ (LGBTQ+) teens and their allies with a welcoming, safe space. Lighthouse empowers LGBTQ youth to clarify issues, gain skills and resiliency, and envision and seek healthy, productive, and fulfilling adult lives.
Teens can drop in to share life experiences and feelings, socialize, snack, play games,
and share common bonds in Lighthouse’s confidential, non-threatening environment. Lighthouse hosts guest speakers, trips, barbecues, parties, and movie nights.
