When my brother came out of the closet, it wasn’t a big deal for my family. Even my grandpa, who is... super old-school, was like, 'Good for you!'

YOUTH PRIDE CHORUS OF SOUTH FLORIDA (YPCSF)

Asserting joy, diversity, strength, and pride of today’s youth

YPCSF will engage young people from Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties for whom participation in a chorus can be life-changing. Prior singing experience is not required to participate in YPCSF. The group will work on music that matches the members' skill levels, and our goal is to promote messages of inclusion and a sense of belonging for everyone. We welcome all LGBTQIA+ singers of all gender identities who are of high school age in the current school year.

SHOUT! with Pride This Summer!

Saturday, July 23, 2022, 10am – 5pm. Location is TBD.


As we continue to grow the Youth Pride Chorus of South Florida, our organization wants to welcome and celebrate everyone of all gender identities and sexual orientations. Join LGBTQ+ teens and their allies for a day of singing, celebrating, and activism. Spend the day learning songs which we will perform for a gathering of your family and friends. We will also have conversations about empowerment when our rights are under attack, and we will hear from a special guest or two.  There is no cost to participate, but an RSVP for you and your party is required: Email us your name, email, and phone number.

RSVP FOR SHOUT!
