COVID -19 Updates

PROUD Youth of Color

Calling all LGBTQ+ and Allied Youth of Color!
 
It’s never before been more important to create safe spaces for LGBTQ+ Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)! Thanks to the initiative and vision of three of our PROUD Youth Leaders, we will be launching the PROUD Youth of Color Group beginning Wednesday, September 9th – and every other Wednesday after that. PROUD Youth of Color is a drop-in style social group that is free, confidential, and open to all youth of color aged 12- 17 (18 is okay if still in high school).

New Executive Director – Kristin Flickinger

It’s true! After a four-month national search, we’ve hired Kirstin effective July 21st to be our new ED. Not only has the PPF team of board and staff successfully navigated the challenges of the current COVID-19 environment to bring the community the important programs and services that PPF offers – counseling and mental health, health and prevention, social/support groups – but we’ve brought the agency a fantastic new leader. 

Kristin is going to bring our agency the support we need to take our organization to the next level of growth visibility and impact that we’ve envisioned in our strategic plan. And will provide a strong guiding hand as we continue our mission of creating a thriving and visible LGBTQ+ community and preventing the transmission of HIV and HEP-C. 

Syringe Exchange – Open!

Thanks to the incredibly hard work and dedication of our program staff and volunteers, our Syringe Exchange Program is open during the COVID-19 crisis.

Please click here for our updated schedule.

In the last few weeks, our program staff members and volunteers have assembled over 100 kits of essential supplies for our Syringe Exchange Program clients that include sterile syringes, safe sex supplies, Naloxone, and more! These supplies help to prevent the spread of HIV and Hep C, sexually transmitted infections, as well as save lives from opioid overdoses. To our volunteers: THANK YOU, we couldn’t have done it without you!
