LGBT youth deserve to celebrate their prom just like anybody else.

For the fifth year, Compass Community Center is bringing that safe space to the young faces of the community through the Youth Equality Prom.

“The prom is such an amazing event and it truly creates a safe place for LGBTQ youth and their allies to attend without fear of harassment; a place where they can be themselves,” said Mentor and Program Coordinator Sabrine Pearson in a press release. “For some students, this is the only prom they will attend and it should be special. We’re testing out this new program this year to see if we can expand it next year. Everyone should feel their best on the night of their prom!”

This year’s prom will bring in hairdressers and makeup artists from the Boca Beauty Academy and members of the community. They will arrive early at the prom to help prom goers with their style.

“This is a perfect example of how amazing this community is and how we pull together,” said Compass Youth Program Coordinator Amanda Canete. “For members of the community to come and donate their time and skills to make this night extra special for some of our youth is truly amazing.”

The prom theme is Coral Kiki — an underwater theme. The prom begins Friday, May 26 at 7 p.m. through 11 p.m. at 201 North Dixie Highway, in Lake Worth with staff, chaperones and mentors on the premises. Attendance is free. Stylists will be there starting at 4 p.m. to help youth.
