NW Penna. COLAGE Chapter Forming

Northwestern Pennsylvania now has a local chapter of Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere (COLAGE). COLAGE is the only national youth-driven network of people with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer parents.

Living in a world that treats our families differently can be isolating or challenging. By connecting us with peers who share our experience, COLAGE helps us become strong advocates for ourselves and our families.

COLAGE Northwest PA is one of the organization's newest local chapters and will build community in the northwestern PA region for people with LGBTQ parents. Contact: Christine. Phone: (814) 398-0148. Email: nwpa@colage.org. Browse to www.colage.org

Our lanes are reserved from 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM. The cost is $7 per person and includes shoes/balls and all-you-can-bowl. If anyone is interested in joining our chapter and/or would like to volunteer at activities, please plan to meet us there. We would like to meet once a month and hope that as word gets out, we will have many participants!


Parents are welcome to volunteer and attend activities and meetings.

New copies of Just For Us will be available at the event. For info and/or to RSVP, please email Christine at nwpa@colage.org.

To get things kicked off we are having our first event at Rolling Meadow Lanes in Erie. Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 12th at 2 PM to meet and sign-in. PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGE! This was initially announced for December 5th. It has been moved to December 12th.

Our lanes are reserved from 2:30 P
