Pizza Klatch

Pizza Klatch supports LGBTQ+ teens every week in high schools across Thurston County. Pizza – A favorite food among high school students.

We provide free pizza, two trained facilitators for each group, and a convenient and safe forum for LGBTQ+ youth to share what is going on in life through discussion and education. Italian in origin, made of thin bread dough spread with a spiced mixture of e.g. tomato sauce and cheese

Klatch – Is a Yiddish word for: An informal social gathering, especially for the purpose of conversation
