Got Your (Back) To School

Bluebird Society and Rainbow Fit Club are excited to invite you to be part of Got Your (Back) to School, a back-to-school carnival for LGBTQ+ young people and their families here in St. Louis.

Research continues to show that LGBTQ+ youth living in supportive, accepting communities experience significantly better mental health, lower rates of suicidal ideation, and higher overall well-being compared to those who don’t.

As students head into a new school year, we want to remind them that they've got a whole community in their corner — and that's where you come in.

The event will feature a dance party, hands-on art and craft activities, and carnival games, all hosted by local organizations, clubs, and people supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

Help spread the word, volunteer your time, and/or contribute to the event fund to expand our budget to make this a truly amazing event. Let's celebrate the LGBTQ+ youth in St. Louis and remind them that we've got their back.

Accessibility Notes: This event is held in a former church-turned-community event space. Activities will be taking place on all three floors. Only one floor is ADA compliant; the other two floors each have a staircase to get to.

On the first floor will be craft activities led by Amplify the Arch and Proud Art STL, both organizations by and for queer youth in our community.

Weather-permitting, there will also be some fun to be had in the small yard just at the entrance of the space.
