I am going to volunteer for the Gay Prom again. It is an annual event by and for all Bay Area youth, held in Hayward, and inviting youth up to age 20 from all over the Bay. There are many parts we adults can play in making this a safe and fun environment for LGBTQQ youth in the Bay Area, from being chaperone the night of the event (Saturday June 9, 2007), to raising money for poor kids to attend, to updating their webpages with current info.
I have volunteer applications with me or you can visit
www.pacificcenter.org/queeryouth.html for some information. They haven't posted specifics yet for this year.
or request a volunteer packet at: info@gayprom.org

Re: Lambda Youth Project Gay Prom 2007 in Hayward, CA
Mon, March 5, 2007 - 4:57 PMIsn't the chaperone the one who keep the boys & the girls from having sex with each other?? Sounds like an easy one here. -

Mon, March 5, 2007 - 6:51 PMThe prom is held to facilitate youth meeting each other. I personally have acted as Cupid's messenger several times.
If you're looking for a teeny-bopper version of The Hole in the Wall, there are a lot of power dynamics and legal issues that make that impossible.
The youth themselves, in planning and operation, along with the adult planners, have come up with more creative options. -

Tue, March 6, 2007 - 10:49 AMHey Alexandra, trying to make a joke, but didn't come out right. The word "chaperone" has such a loaded hetero connatation for me, I imagined the librarian type carefully watching over things at the prom to make sure the boys don't do anything inappropriate with the girls. The thing you're talking about sounds really fun. -

Tue, March 6, 2007 - 1:37 PMof course. waltzing is ok but cha cha cha is definitely verboten. minuets are appropriate but stay away from that lascivious twist! -

Tue, March 6, 2007 - 1:42 PMOMG. the twist. don't give them any ideas.
I think the Madison is acceptable, though. I'm kinda liberal that way. -
