Fiesta Youth

Our program serves LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning) teens, young adults, and their allies. Our hope is to empower youth to build a future where ALL people are accepted and loved as they are. In this way, our youth may become successful and contributing members of the community. Our mission is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, affirming place for LGBTQA young people to express and explore who they are through education, peer-support, advocacy, and friendship. We offer educational and enrichment activities designed to help youth build a sense of community through friendship and peer connection. We welcome all youth ages 12-18 for our youth program and young adults ages 28-22 to come join us for a Fiesta Youth Meeting. Our youth meetings were created to provide a safe, non-judgmental, affirming place for all LGBTQA youth. Every Tuesday, our youth meet at UPC to meet new friends, participate in fun games and activities (field trips, too!), and join in on group discussions and special events. Our young adults meet on Monday nights. We provide additional programming nights throughout the year with our partnerships with the San Antonio Library (Lit out of the closet) and the YMCA (YMCA Nights). Our 4 C Program provides young adult programming at 4 of our local colleges and universities.(GALA at San Antonio College, the Coalition at Texas A&M University - San Antonio, PRIDE at Trinity University, and Spectrum at the University of Texas at San Antonio) We are a non-profit organization. All of our funding comes from sponsorship's of our special events, donors, and available grants. We appreciate any support we receive from our community and thank you to those who have contributed.
