We also have a dance floor, pool tables, ping-pong table and a VCR/DVD player. Our drop-in center at 1050 Broadway, behind The Center, is drug, alcohol, tobacco and hate-free. All Rainbow Alley activities are created and run by youth-participants with trained adults providing supervision. We believe in honoring individuality, empowerment, respect in our youth-adult partnership model of service delivery. Rainbow Alley focuses on peer-to-peer support and education. Youth leaders are trained in peer based support, safe sex education and HIV prevention.
