Social Activities & Meeting Other Youth

After School Program (ASP)

LYRIC’s After School Program is open from 3-6pm, Mondays through Fridays.  It’s a space for youth 24 and under to hang out, dance, sing, play games, talk, rest, and generally have a good time in a safe space. 

Sometimes there are outside facilitators who come in to share information and facilitate a conversation about topics that are important to LGBTQQ youth.  Fridays are movie days where a DVD is played on topics relevant to LGBTQQ youth.

 

 

 

 

Dances

LYRIC holds three dances throughout the year, including the Masqueerade Ball, Unchained Conference Dance, and Pride Dance.

LYRIC's annual Masqueerade Ball is an event not to be missed. With a costume contest, hot beats, and fabulous prizes, this dance is a great way for youth to celebrate Halloween.

The Unchained Conference Dance is generally held in the late spring following the conference. In 2006, over 300 youth danced the night away with a great music and fabulous prizes.

San Francisco Gay Pride is a busy time for LYRIC! LYRIC's annual Pride Dance is the hottest place for LGBTQQ youth in San Francisco to celebrate the season with style and flash. Complete with a Dance-Off, door prizes, and hot beats, this is an event not to be missed!

Check the calendar of Upcoming Events for information about the next dance.
