LGBTQ+ Book Club (12-15 Years)
LGBTQ+ Book Club (12-15 Years)
In Person. Turn to the next page to discover inclusive storytelling and thoughtful discussion in our new LGBTQ+ Book Club! Designed for LGBTQ+ teens within the Jewish community, the LGBTQ+ Tween Book Club offers a welcoming space to explore books that reflect their unique experiences and identities. We will celebrate diversity and foster a sense of belonging through engaging reader selections and open dialogues. Join this literary journey where voices are heard, stories are shared, and connections are made. This group will center the voices of LGBTQ+ authors, stories, and teens. Allies and teens of all identities are welcome and encouraged to join.
