Our Recurring Programs are the bread and butter of Guilford Green.

We have events for every member of Greensboro’s LGBTQ+ community: our programs are intersectional, intergenerational, and provide a brave space for a spectrum of queer identity labels. No matter how you identify or what your background is, we have a communal space for you.

You can check all of our upcoming events on the OUT and About Calendar and sign up for programs ahead of time on our Eventbrite. To learn more about our weekly, biweekly, monthly, and quarterly programs, scroll down.

Melanin & MagiQ

This group is exclusively for QTBIPOC youth and creates a brave space for youth living at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities.

Melanin & MagiQ is held on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month from 6 – 8 pm
