Description & Services
| Service Details | Our members are 11-18 year olds who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Allies and More). We provide a space where you can make lasting friendships – you might even meet your new best friend here! Reach out to us for Etcetera's address. You can chat with our facilitators through our social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram) or contact the main office of The Bridge Youth & Family Services via phone or email. Be sure to follow us on our social media platforms for our monthly activity and community event announcements. As a grassroots initiative supported by many organizational and community partners, Etcetera works to make Kelowna a city where 2SLGBTQIA+ youth are valued as integral to the fabric of our community tapestry. Etcetera also offers support to obtain gender-affirming items for youth who cannot afford to purchase these items on their own. |
