Small Groups of Pride Alliance
What is a "small group"? A small group is a discussion/ social group where people can meet with other folks with similar identities or backgrounds. This builds community and creates friendships. If you are looking for a way to get involved with Pride Alliance, this is the easiest and fun-est way! Click the group name to visit the facebook group.
A quick note: if you are planning on attending a small group meeting for a class assignment, please email the group's facilitators first.
