What Is Belong Arizona?

Belong Arizona is a three-day conference for LGBTQIA+ youth and allies — a space where faith, identity, and community intersect. It’s a place to be seen, heard, and celebrated exactly as you are.

This gathering welcomes youth who will be 14 in 2026 (even if still 13 at the time of the event) through those who turn 18 or graduate high school in 2026.

What to Expect

Over the weekend, you’ll:

  • Connect with peers who share your experiences

  • Explore your identity and spirituality in affirming, empowering ways

  • Learn & grow through workshops, group discussions, and creative sessions

  • Be inspired by speakers, mentors, and community leaders who believe in you

  • Celebrate belonging, joy, and authenticity together

Sessions cover topics such as self-acceptance, resilience, relationships, and mental health — all in an inclusive, faith-aware environment that welcomes everyone’s background and story.

What Participants Say

“I loved hanging out at the park and playing games. All the discussions were lovely and helped me learn a lot about myself.”

– Past participant

“Each day my child told me it was ‘their favorite day ever’. She found belonging and community amongst other amazing people. The councilors were fantastic and also related to the teens. We will definitely be back and love to [know] that there’s a place for us in this community”
