Open Doors AZ

Open Doors AZ is a social activity group for gay men and women who live in Arizona. Every week Open Doors AZ gets together to eat, play and socialize. Open Doors AZ prides itself on diversity; membership is all inclusive, making it a great way to meet new people.

Open Doors AZ was founded in December of 2010. In the past year Open Doors AZ has grown to more than 1300 likes on Facebook and more than 190 members on Meetup.com. We have hosted over 80 events all with the goal of helping our LGBT community get plugged in with a healthier alternative from the typical bar scene.

Over the summer we partnered with Urban Yoga to offer Arizona’s first ever Gay Yoga class. We continue a partnership with 1 Voice Community Center to run the A-Z Social Network, which happens every Saturday night at 7pm.
