PFLAG Dayton

Understanding the challenges and joys of the Q+ community is a journey we take together. Come with questions, leave with a stronger sense of community.

This month, we are honored to host Dr. Kyra Smith, Managing Director of the Roger Glass Center for the Arts, who will be speaking on "Stories on performance and life at the intersection of Queer and Jewish identities".

Community 👥, Coffee ☕️, & Carbs 🥯!

Looking for a safe space to connect. Join PFLAG Dayton Kettering Group for our next meetup. Whether you're Q+, a family member, or a solid ally, there's a seat (and a bagel) waiting for you.

No agendas, just support. Come as you are! 🏳️‍🌈

Being a parent or caregiver is a journey,
especially when you're learning how to best support your Q+ loved one. PFLAG Dayton is your local space to exhale, ask questions, and find a community that truly understands. Join us for our next support meeting to find connection & conversation.

Whether you're heading to a university, community college, or trade school, that $4,000 can go a long way toward books, tuition, and housing. Know someone who this would be perfect for? Tag them below! A simple tag could be the reason they get $4,000 for school! Link in bio!

This is your friendly reminder that the PFLAG Dayton Scholarship applications are open & the deadline is approaching! We are awarding FOUR individual scholarships worth $4,000 each! If you are an Q+ student or a dedicated Ally in the Greater Dayton area, this is for you!

Link to the Zoom meeting is in our bio!

Whether you need a space to share, listen, or just breathe, our PFLAG Dayton Zoom Check-In is open to you. Join us for some mid-week connection and support, everyone is welcome! ❤️
