The Thrive Social Series by the NY LGBT Network is back!
Building on the energy and connections from our recent series, the Thrive Social Series returns with four upcoming events across Long Island and Queens. These gatherings continue to offer welcoming, community-centered spaces where LGBT folks and allies can connect, network, and build meaningful relationships.
Hosted in vibrant venues throughout Long Island and Queens, each event provides a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere with opportunities to meet new people, share experiences, strengthen community ties, and celebrate the power of connection.
Enjoy light food, a cash bar, NY LGBT Network merchandise available for purchase, and the opportunity to learn more about the organization’s programs, services, and upcoming initiatives. Whether you’re attending for the first time or reconnecting with familiar faces, there’s a place for you at Thrive.
Registration is free! Be sure to register using the form at the bottom of this page to reserve your spot.
