Sprouts is a fun-filled program for queer or questioning kids and their families.
Queer Family is thrilled to launch this exciting new program designed especially for kids aged 8-12 who are queer or questioning, along with their parents and guardians.
Sprouts is a unique and vibrant space where LGBTQIA+ kidlets and their families can come together, connect, and celebrate their identities in a supportive and affirming environment.
Sprouts is the only program of its kind in our region specifically catering to younger queer and questioning kids and their families. It’s a groundbreaking initiative that fills a significant gap in local community services, providing a much-needed haven for children to explore their identities and for families to find solidarity and support.
Sprouts is a monthly meetup full of fun and engaging activities, specifically designed to foster connections. Facilitated by qualified youth-workers from the queer community, Sprouts is a space where supportive friendships can be made and identities, however they may shift and change, are celebrated. At Sprouts, you will meet other families who understand and celebrate the diverse experiences of queer and questioning kids.
Whether you’re looking to find community for your child, find support, or just have an opportunity for safe and affirming fun, Sprouts is the place to be. Come along and sprout some new connections.
There will be a meeting on Saturday from 10am to 12pm, and on Saturday, 24 August from 10am to 12pm.
It’s important to note that this is not a drop-and-run event – it’s time for families to spend together.

Sprouts is made possible through the Social Futures Resilient Kids program.
