UPDATED: Stonewall Youth & COVID 19 (Corona Virus)

Hello Community,

The Stonewall Youth Collective hopes this statement finds you well, in care, together. Over much decision and conversation Stonewall Youth will remain open for the week of March 16th and the foreseeable future. At this point in the COVID-19 pandemic, we are also taking precautions to ensure the health and safety of youth and staff. Here’s what that looks like at Drop Ins:

  • Asking Drop Ins Staff to stay home from work if they feel sick

  • Asking youth at the door if they have recently had a fever, feel sick, or have symptoms of COVID-19

  • And requesting that youth who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 not come to Drop Ins

  • Per the CDC’s advice, practice social distancing, frequent hand disinfecting/ washing, encouraging folks to cover their coughs and sneezes as well as limiting contact to their eyes, nose, and mouths

Stonewall Youth will also be increasing the consistency of our cleaning measures for the Drop In space with frequently disinfecting furniture, appliances, and high-touch areas. 

At this time, Stonewall Youth is offering to purchase supplies for LGBTQ+ youth ages 12 to 24! If you would like to order something through Stonewall Youth please send us an email, come to Drop Ins, or give us a call. Supplying items to LGBTQ+ is something Stonewall always offers and is necessary and important at this time. These items may include and are not limited to: masks, thermometers, gender affirming items, food, gloves, menstrual products, water bottles, toilet paper, other personal hygiene items, First Aid kits, clothes, and cold/ wet weather survival gear.

We are working closely with our community partners to ensure that the people we serve are supported through the COVID-19 pandemic. Especially in light of federal government failures and structures of capitalism folding in on themselves right before us. 

Drop Ins are Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from 3pm to 7pm.

  • LGBTQ+ Support Group is Wednesday 5pm to 7pm.

We will be providing LGBTQ+ youth with supplies!

We will be here, we will be open, we will be serving our community!
