Meetings & Events
Meetings
Our monthly meetings are a safe place to find understanding and support and are open to all families, friends, allies and members of the LGBTQ+ community. We may come from diverse backgrounds and reasons for coming, but we all share our commitment to care for and learn together. Our meeting format includes open discussion, community education, and information regarding upcoming events.
PFLAG Oak Park Area meetings are confidential. Membership is not required and there is no cost to attend. We are currently having hybrid meetings to support both in person and remote attendees.
Join us on the FOURTH Sunday of each month at 3:00 PM
First United Church of Oak Park
848 Lake St.
*Enter from the parking lot off Kenilworth Ave.
Events
In addition to our monthly meetings, we participate in pride parades, community events, family pride picnics, educational forums, and host speakers. PFLAG Oak Park frequently partners with other organizations to support shared community needs. We give away hundreds of LGBTQ+ buttons each year at local festivals and events. We would love for you to join us throughout the year!
