About Rainbow Alley

Rainbow Alley is a safe, brave space where LGBTQ+ youth (ages 10-17) and their allies find support and acceptance. We provide events, activities, and life-skill building, all in a warm and welcoming environment. Please check our calendar for upcoming events.

Rainbow Alley is a drug, alcohol, tobacco, and hate-free space.

Attendees of Rainbow Alley's 2025 Queer Prom smile for a photo

Queer Prom was a blast!

Over 75 youth joined us for a fabulous night under the sea at our Rainbow Reef themed prom. The room was filled to the brim with queer joy and laughter all evening while attendees danced the night away and cheered for captivating performances by Hunnie Bun and Wanda Prize.

DJ Markie kept the dance floor energy high, and remarked at the end of the evening that this was her favorite year of Queer Prom yet.
