Event Series Be You: Youth Collective

Be You: Youth Collective

The Center OC 1605 N Spurgeon St, Santa Ana

We invite Orange County LGBTQ teens and allies ages 13-18 to join us and develop a message/call to action to educate local teens about mental health, substance abuse, sexual/reproductive health, dating violence, and where to get help in Orange County. We will work together, brainstorm, and collaborate on social media to create an awareness campaign with other organizations to promote and address these social topics affecting teens and stop the cycle.
