LGBTQIA+ community members and allies are invited to come together and build connections through a fun and inclusive game night. On the first Friday of each month, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, a peer-facilitated a group game night at the Center, where people are encouraged to bring their favorite board games and tabletop games. Purpose & Goals: The primary goal of this game night is to promote inclusion, strengthen bonds, and foster a sense of belonging within the LGBTQIA+ community. Through shared experiences in playing games, participants can enjoy healthy, supportive conversations and gain valuable perspectives from each other. Group Expectations and Agreements: Respect: We will treat each other with kindness and respect, valuing each personâs individuality and contributions. Collaboration: While games can be competitive, we will prioritize teamwork, communication, and cooperation during our time together. Open-mindedness: All participants are encouraged to listen to and understand perspectives different from their own. Itâs a space for learning, growth, and connection. Supportive Environment: This event is primarily about fun, but if you ever need advice, guidance, or simply someone to listen, we invite open and supportive dialogue. Good-Natured Conversations: We encourage healthy, respectful discussions, but ask that disagreements be handled with tact and understanding. No Tolerance for Discrimination or Harassment: This is a space for everyone. Any behavior that goes against these values will not be tolerated. These expectations will be reviewed briefly at the beginning of each session to ensure that everyone feels comfortable, safe, and respected. For questions, please email:  [email protected]
