Youth Outreach.
Youth Social
This monthly social, held at The Chisholm Community Center, is geared to our community's youth. From preteen to young adult, all LGBTQ youth and allies are invited to come hang out and get to know others in your community. This meet up will be a casual get together with an open discussion. Each social is facilitated by members of DeLand Pride’s Youth Outreach Committee. Meetings are held the last Saturday of each month from 1:00pm to 2:30pm at The Chisholm Community Center in DeLand. Click here to visit our events page to find the next upcoming social.

Youth who can show that they have actively advocated for LGBT issues in the prior year are eligible to apply. Click here to visit the VFRA Scholarship page for more info.
Stetson University Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope, Stetson's Gender and Sexual Diversity Organization, is a community based organization that actively pursues opportunities to promote acceptance, friendship, and partnership of the LGBTQIAP+ community. We work to create a supportive atmosphere for LGBTQIAP+ and allied students to discuss their feelings and thoughts about sexual orientation and gender identity. Through education and awareness initiatives, we hope to reduce anti-gay violence, harassment, and discrimination by promoting a greater understanding between students, school administration, and the local Deland community.
