Alternative Prom
ALSO Youth is gearing up for it's sixth Alternative High School Prom. Last year, the event SOLD OUT with 200 tickets for youth from 31 schools in 5 counties. It is a smoke, drug, and alcohol-free dance for LGBTQIA students, allies and friends in Sarasota and surrounding counties. This event allows LGBTQ+ youth to experience a traditional rite of passage with the same comfort and freedom as their straight counterparts. Its goal is to create a safe, supportive space where attendees can fully express themselves, bring the date of their choice, and dance with whomever they wish. We plan to hold this event every year.
