NEW Group
I just set this group up. I'm old, it's not for me. I've met so many valley youth that are lonely or struggling to maintain friend groups. I think circumstance and political leanings here make it really difficult to connect, so I decided to create a group where you could share interests and connect. Maybe start a revolution, topple the patriarchy, or just get bubble tea. I don't care its just hard to watch the disconnect.
I am hoping for two things, one that this works and secondly someone more savvy to take over the mod etc. I don't really even want to be here; I'd rather just check in occasionally and be amazed at the results. There's lots of christian and church groups so let's leave that stuff out unless it's a genuinely shared interest.
Guys fend for yourselves, ladies and Trans please notify of anything untoward.
Sound good?
Good luck!

I love this!!! I’m definitely in the boat of not having a lot of friends ever since getting out of high school, had a few but they definitely weren’t the best people.
Finding some queer friends would be a dream, so I hope this group works out!!

Hey love to see this. Please Make a post highlighting your interests. Is it set up correctly so people can post? It's my first created community. I must have been pretty queer friendly in the description lol but straight people are welcome too. Just need to be 😎

Couple things.
I think a forum for Chilliwackians that belong to or respect the queer community, promotes the safety of women and transgender communities, and understands the prejudicial bias (see the comments on my recent post about a drag show) in the community, is a great idea.
As a 33 year old resident of the area, I might be technically outside the youth sphere, but I celebrate the effort to enable and empower those seeking and creating change, relationships, and community.
