Volunteers in the drop-in center groups help plan and facilitate programming for LGBTQ youth across a 6 county area in north central IL, including two drop-in centers specific to the needs of trans and gender expansive youth. Volunteers may also get involved in community education/networking and supporting the youth leadership and HIV prevention programs. Volunteers with appropriate skills and interests may choose to work with the parent group.

Drop in centers operate weekly in Naperville, Geneva, DeKalb, Palatine, Ottawa, Sterling, and Elgin. Our Geneva and Elgin drop in centers run twice per month. All other sites run weekly on their designated day. New volunteers are sought for all sites, and with the plan in mind to open a new location in Elmhurst this fall.
