More Program Details

  • Connections+

    Connections+ is a judgement-free drop-in where LGBTQ+ youth connect over music, games, books and art. Professionally-led activities focus on fostering emotional, social, and mental wellness. This program is weekly year-round at Colors+ in Fairview Park.

  • Harmony+ Music Therapy

    Harmony+ Music Therapy is led by licensed, trauma-informed music therapists helps youth and families harness the power of music to boost wellness, reduce stress and help achieve individual personal goals. 

  • Playtime+ and Drag Story Time

    A morning for LGBTQIA+ kids to express themselves and play in an affirming, judgement-free space, and for families to connect and build community. Cleveland’s top drag performers entertain and inspire with stories of diversity and inclusion.

  • Family Yoga

    Family Yoga with a trauma-informed community yoga practitioner promotes mindfulness and self-awareness, while releasing stress and creating a mind-body connection.

  • Parent/Caregiver Peer Support Groups

    Support groups facilitated by licensed peer support specialists give parents and caregivers a safe space to connect, share, and discuss their concerns with others in similar situations. 

  • Game Nights

    Game nights at our Fairview Park location for teens and for the whole family allow LGBTQ+ youth and families to relax, enjoy a meal provided by Colors+, play games, and build community in a safe, judgment-free space.

  • Trans Online Hangout

    Led by trained health professionals and peer support specialists, this is a virtual drop-in where transgender youth can socialize and build connections with peers. The program includes icebreakers, games & activities, discussions, and skill-building workshops. 

  • Weeklong Summer Camps

    Summer camps feature fun, inspiring and educational activities and outings to enhance health & well-being. Field trips, art projects, yoga, writing workshops, nature visits, cooking demonstrations, and educational presentations are all designed to promote positive self-image and provide youth with tools, coping skills, and resources with the broader goal of suicide prevention. 

  • Dungeons & Dragons Online

    Help youth build social support networks and self-confidence, develop characters, explore their creativity and learn problem-solving skills in real-time. Because youth often feel more comfortable expressing themselves during gameplay, campaigns are monitored by licensed professionals.
