Book club sessions happen from 3 to 4 PM at the Waterloo Public Library or you can request a virtual meeting link via email.
AFFIRM Youth Group: LGBTQ+ focused youth group centered around learning and growing students’ queer identities, but also their religious identities. This group aims to create a safe space for LGBTQ+ students (middle to high school age), as well as provide an open space for community, questions, and healing. Meetings take place during the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month from 7 to 9 PM at St. Timothy's United Methodist Church.
Safe Zone Training: These trainings are offered to the public throughout the year as a form of education surrounding LGBTQ+ identities and related topics. Typically, the sessions are broken down into two or three parts with increasing depth and application of concepts learned. Additionally, organizations may reach out to request private training on an individual basis. For more information, visit the Safe Zone Training webpage!
