WOMEN & NONBINARY GROUP

Women & Nonbinary Support Group

The Women’s & Nonbinary Support Group allows women and woman-aligned folks to come together and build community with each other. This group is for queer women and nonbinary people, whether they are butches, femmes, cis, trans, gender nonconforming, or other gender identities, to socialize and engage in peer support. We meet every 4th Tuesday at 5:30 down the street from GLO at The Third Place, 416 W Commercial.
