What is shOUT?

Shout is the youth group established by AABA. They meet every 3rd Sunday at Diversions Crafting Studio from 4:30pm to 6pm to talk, bond, and do fun activities together. The group is currently led by high school students living in Broken Arrow and the meetings are open to any person between the ages of 13 and 19 no matter where they live.

We know that being part of a rainbow family is not only breathtakingly beautiful, but it can be challenging to navigate safely through society. Our goal is to make sure that every member of the queer community can find strength in numbers and we think this is a great place to start. AABA's Parent & Guardian group is a place for adults with LGBTQ+ children they love and care for to build a network of people that have either been there, will be there, or are there now. They meet on the 4th Sunday of the month at Diversions Crafting Studio at 3pm. 

The Be You Closet was born from the minds of our Parents & Guardians group. We aim to offer a safe space for folks needing to find gender-affirming clothing, accessories, & more. We are currently setting up the permanent location for the closet and are only open by appointment. You can email Jenn directly at jteehee@advocateba.org or reach out via our socials. We are not currently taking clothing donations, but we need supplies and storage. We've set up an Amazon wishlist that you can find here or you can give monetarily via the Donate Now button at the top of this page. 

The Trans Panel is a monthly community discussion group hosted by AABA. Each month, we will have a few panelists to share their stories, answer questions, and make themselves available to serve as a pseudo mentor for trans families, trans individuals, and people wanting to become better allies. The panel meets once a month and is RSVP only. If you have questions that you'd like answered but aren't up to asking it in person, you can submit your questions anonymously here.
