| If you are coming to the Coffeehouse for the first time, you will be required to go through a brief program called: New Participant Orientation Program (NPOP). This program will familiarize you with Pride for Youth and its staff. NPOP is offered every Friday from 8:15-9:00pm. All new Coffeehouse participants MUST go through this program, so you should plan to arrive before 8:15pm. After you complete NPOP, you will be free to come and go as you please! |

| In 1995, Pride for Youth opened the first suburban coffeehouse for LGBTQ youth in the country. In May 1999, the coffeehouse moved to a new, permanent space in Bellmore, New York. The Coffeehouse is a safe, friendly, non-alcoholic space where LGBTQ youth come together to socialize and participate in weekly activities. Always staffed by professional adults, LGBTQ youth can drop-in at any time during the evening and talk with a sensitive, caring adult. Coffeehouse activities are run largely by the youth participants themselves. To get involved in some of these activities, check out the Gay Youth Planning Committee. |
