People

You can meet young LGBT*I* in the together. You can already get to know some of the staff here. One of them is always on site during opening hours and is available as a contact person for all events, ideas, difficulties and personal questions. All of them have pedagogical background and take their confidentiality very seriously. They do not only want to support you – if necessary – but also to give you other thoughts, to promote fun and community.

Besides that, fortunately, they are very different!
