What makes Fourth Fridays feel different?

When we asked our youth what should never change, they didn’t talk about games, activities, or special guests.

They talked about people.

💜 “It’s a safe place for unique people.”

💜 “The people are the most welcoming.”

💜 “I love the friendships I’ve made.”

💜 “Never change your positivity.”

💜 “We feel accepted.”

💜 “We leave happier.”

Those words remind us why Fourth Fridays exists.

The activities help bring everyone together—but it’s the kindness, acceptance, and genuine friendships that keep people coming back.

Thank you to everyone who has helped build this community. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another year together.

📅 Friday, September 25
🕠 5:30–7:30 PM
📍 Field Library Building
4 Nelson Ave, Peekskill

Open to LGBTQIA+ youth and allies in Grades 9–12.

We hope to see you there. 💜🌈

Sharing some love, affirmation, and appreciation for all our bi+ loved ones. 💗💜💙 Leave some bisexual+ affirmations in the comments below!

We asked returning youth:

"What helps new people feel welcome?"

They said:

💜 Just be yourself.
💜 Be kind.
💜 Be open-minded.
💜 Give people time.
💜 Make space for everyone.
💜 The adults make me feel safe.

That's the culture our community has created together.

If September will be your first Fourth Fridays... we're excited to meet you.

And if you're returning... we can't wait to see you again. 💜

📅 September 25.

The June Focus Group gave us dozens of ideas.
Some are already becoming reality.

Coming this year:
☑ More build-your-own meals
☑ More drink choices
☑ More vegetarian flexibility
☑ More opportunities to share
☑ A mix of guest nights and community nights

Thank you for helping shape Fourth Fridays.

We can't wait for you to see what's ahead.

The deadline for our National School Climate Survey has been extended to Oct 7 midnight PT, September 30!

If you’re LGBTQIA2S+ and 13+ and attended grades K-12 in the U.S. during the 2025–26 school year, there is still time to share your experience in schools before the survey closes.

Responses are anonymous and help us advocate for safer and more affirming schools.

If you’re an adult or ineligible for the survey, share this post with someone who is. Tag someone in the comments who you think could help improve schools for LGBTQIA+ youth!

Check our bio for the survey link.
