The Safe Zone Club is a group of clients and staff who meet every other week to teach and discuss ways to support and embrace our LGBTQ+ community. We communicate within the Villa of Hope agency and outside in our community. We share experiences and communicate how allies of the LGBTQ+ can support our clients and staff.
Our vision is to teach and work together with staff and peers on appropriate ways to interact, give back to our community, and create a safe environment for our clients and staff.
We have hosted speakers to talk with our Safe Zone Club participants, we hold fundraisers annually to give back to the Center For Youth, and we have built stronger relationships within the Villa of Hope agency.
Our goal is to continue our program and to teach our clients and staff by sponsoring activities, hosting meetings, inviting speakers in, and leading open discussions.
We average 20 clients and 15 staff at each meeting, many of which also participated in the Pride Parade.
Come join us, everyone is welcome!
