Playdate Program

Playdates & Get Togethers

For over 30 years LGBTQ+ parents have witnessed the value in having their children be around families like theirs. This offers a needed additional sense of belonging, familiarity, and community, plus tremendous value for the parents. In all ways, it is vital to celebrate and take pride in all LGBTQ+ families.


Rainbow Families is a member-driven organization and we collaborate with our members to organize playdates for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. To volunteer to host a playdate at a local part in your neighborhood, please complete our volunteer form or reach out to Ali D (she/her) at ali@rainbowfamilies.org.


Visit our Calendar of Events to see when and where the next playdate is happening.
