GET TO KNOW CILYAG
Central Indiana LBGTQ+ Young Adult Group (CILYAG) was started in February of 2023 to create an ongoing safe space for LGBTQIA+ young adults in Central Indiana that did not revolve exclusively around drinking and nightlife.
For folks with sensory differences, we also take that into consideration with each event we plan. We wanted to create a social and support group that was inclusive and accessible, but not stuffy or boring to build friendships, unity, relationships, and more.
