The Rainbow Room is the only center in the region for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer and allied youth (LGBTQA). With combined leadership by area youth and Planned Parenthood Association of Bucks County's Education and Training Department, the Rainbow Room is a safe, supportive and welcoming environment for LGBTQA youth ages 14 to 21. At the Rainbow Room, youth can be themselves and experience the freedom of knowing they are accepted totally and without reservation.

Weekly meetings, conducted by professional Planned Parenthood educators and youth peer educators, provide fun and relaxation while addressing health and social issues in a positive, empowering and interactive environment.

More than 15 gay-straight alliances (GSAs) have been formed in surrounding schools in collaboration with Rainbow Room participants. This level of activism is proof of the empowering influence and youth-driven vision of the Rainbow Room.

In addition, the Rainbow Room welcomes community allies in outreach initiatives. Periodic meetings are open to parents, youth-serving professionals, GSA advisors and community members. Planned Parenthood also provides professional trainings on LGBTQA issues to area schools, agencies and organizations. Education Programs
