MEN'S & NONBINARY GROUP

Men's & Nonbinary Support Group

This group is not currently meeting, but we hope to start it up again if there is enough interest. Please email info@glocenter.org if you are interested in receiving updates or in helping lead this group. The Men's & Nonbinary Support Group provides men and man-aligned folks the opportunity to come together and build community with each other. This group is for queer men and nonbinary people, whether they are cis, trans, gender nonconforming, or other gender identities to socialize and engage in peer support. One of our goals with this group is to build hope and resilience among queer men and nonbinary people.
