VIVID: The LGBTQ Center OC's Youth and Young Adult Program is hosting a series of youth leadership and community engagement opportunities for LGBTQIA+ youth and allies ages 14-24 living in Orange County. We are currently recruiting on an ongoing basis, inviting youth and students to participate in weekly leadership meetings, support planning various components of activities and events that they would like to see, and make their visions into reality! Meetings are every Tuesday afternoon at the LGBTQ Center OC Time: 5:30-7:00 pm, with in-person meetings and the opportunity to participate virtually. Address: 1605 N. Spurgeon Street, Santa Ana, 92701 Parking is available inside our lot or on the street. No prior experience is necessary! Volunteer and community services hours are available to participating youth leaders for their time and involvement. Feel free to share this opportunity with others: bit.ly/vivid-youth   Questions? Please contact: Jocelyn Gomez. jocelyn.gomez@lgbtqcenteroc.org

OUTlet is intended to create a safe space for youth to talk about mental health issues, create healthy relationships with others, and learn tools to understand, manage, and decrease symptoms of mental health. This group will teach youth how to build insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and learn how to communicate their needs and wants in a healthy assertive manner. Lastly, with an emphasis on maladaptive coping skills including self-medicating with substances, isolating, or engaging in risky behaviors, youth will learn to develop coping skills needed to manage symptoms on a long-term basis. OUtlet meets virtually and in person  every Tuesday at 5:30 to 7:00 pm.
