MPowerment Program

Pride for Youth’s Mpowerment Program is designed to meet the needs of young gay, bisexual and transgender men (between the ages of 17-24), with a special emphasis on African American and Latino guys. Our culturally diverse staff works with young men individually, in groups and through community outreach and events to provide opportunities for these young men to socialize develop supportive relationships and become educated on HIV/STD prevention and safer sex.

The Mpowerment Program’s main objective is to help young men stay HIV negative and STD free in the midst of the ongoing epidemic. We also can link youth who are positive to resources and support. Check out our menu to learn more about what we do. You can also check out the Mpowerment Program on Facebook at Mpowerment LI.

Join our Core group where we plan upcoming events, activities and clubbing events.

At our core group you get to meet new guys and let your voice be heard. We meet almost every Wednesday Night at 5:30pm. At these meetings we eat a light dinner, have some free time for music and socializing and finally meet for planning.

Our M group is a one-time workshop that gives young guys the tools they need to make healthy decisions about lifestyle, dating, and living. You have a chance to win cash prizes, meet cute guys and check out the space.

Or come to one of our activities which you can see posted on our Calendar.
