JQY Drop-in Center

The JQY Drop-in Center offers a safe and free weekly space where LGBTQ teens and youth can come and:

• Check in with licensed social workers

• Meet others they can relate to

• Participate in support groups & workshops

• Have access to health and safety resources

• Enjoy a hot Kosher meal (this part is on hold while we’re virtual but click here to find out how to get free Kosher meals in NYC)

• Be part of an affirming community

• Know they are not alone.

Each week, the Drop-in Center features a unique program (support groups, yoga, game night, LGBTQ book club, and more!) which takes place alongside drop-in hours. Feel free to join for the program, hang out during drop-in hours, or both! Follow us on Facebook for more information on our weekly programming!
