Queer@ROCK provides prevention-based programming and supports for 2SLGBTQIA+ children, youth, and families through ROCK. 

 Queer@ROCK focuses on:

  •  supporting access to safer spaces
  • building self-esteem
  • creating opportunities for connection to community, and a focus on feeling affirmed and seen.
  • We’re here to empower our queer youth to know themselves and to be able to advocate for themselves in a society that inherently creates layers of barriers for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks.

Queer@ROCK works from an anti-oppressive lens where we understand, but most importantly, centre the needs and experiences of youth coming from intersectional identities where they experience multiple layers of oppression.
