Welcome to Westchester County's only community drop-in center for LGBTQ youth and straight allies!

Center Lane is a place where you can meet other youth, hang out, listen to music, play games, speak to a counselor or just relax. We've got dances--including the spectacular annual Gay Prom--field trips, advocacy training, leadership training and community outreach.

Center Lane provides a safe, supportive space for youth where they can experience a feeling of belonging in an inclusive, friendly environment.

The program specifically encourages making healthy choices and aims at reducing high-risk behaviors in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning youth and their straight allies ages 13-21.

Center Lane also offers community outreach. We deliver workshops, presentations and trainings on topics of relevance to LGBTQ youth and their families to schools, agencies, and other institutions.

Center Lane is a program of Westchester Jewish Community Services.
