Groups & Drop-ins

Groups are where the SOY community really comes together! Our weekly drop-in groups are for youth 29 and under who identify as 2SLGBTQ to connect and share in a welcoming place of safety, respect, and fun. With a focus on life and employment skill building, community resourcing, and connection groups are a place you can make friends and get the support and information you need.

All SOY groups provide a snack or meal and TTC tokens for those who need them. Groups take place in a wheelchair accessible space. For additional accessibility information, please contact the group facilitators directly.

Check out our current drop-in and specific interest groups below!
