Social Engagement Program

The Social Engagement Committee facilitates social support, connection to resources, and access to area programs in North Texas to everyone in the LGBT community over age 55. The reason we do this is to foster a high quality of life and an ongoing vibrant experience of living through later decades of life. This allows our members to continue learning, growing, and celebrating themselves and each other through strengthening social networks.

Social support, Connection to resources

We spend our time building alliances, developing fresh, relevant content, and planning and executing events that will ignite your imagination and help you remember how wonderful it is to connect with others in your community.
Every demographic experiences challenges and needs social engagement support. The aging LGBT community is particularly vulnerable in: ​
  • Isolation: loss of family and friends who passed away, lost touch, or overwhelmed by their own circumstances
  • Fear: facing hardships with regard to being “out” and/or losing medical or housing benefits – due to sexuality, gender identity, or gender presentation
  • Uncertainty: concerns about reaching out for help and being perceived as “needy” or facing the unknown of meeting new people
