What are Local Parenting Groups Find a Local Parenting Groups Step by Step Guide to starting a local Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Parenting Group Parenting Groups are the heart of Family Pride Coalition. They are formal or informal groups of LGBT parents, families and those considering parenthood who organize social, educational and advocacy-based activities for their families and their community.
Some groups are quite large, and organize conferences, workshops, newseltters and websites.
Some are smaller groups of families that meet monthly for potlucks and other child-friendly social opportunities. Most are volunteer-run, and serve to connect and strengthen our families. People involved in parenting groups are formerly married, considering parenthood, pregnant, parenting, and awaiting adoption or surrogate birth. While many of our community's parents have access to local parenting groups, many more do not. We encourage local volunteers to start up and maintain groups, and we can help.
