Be an Archaeologist
For a Day
July 12, 2:30-4:00

Become an archaeologist for a day at Our Rainbows! Hands-on learning takes center stage as students conduct their own controlled dig and record their findings just like professional archaeologists. Will you find trash or treasure?
Open to Our Rainbows youth (elementary-aged ) and their families. Facilitated by Historic Beverly, but held at NAGLY Salem. Come and enjoy this very interactive activity!

NAGLY Awarded Grant By Cummings Foundation
We're so excited and grateful that NAGLY was awarded a 10-year, $450,000 grant from Cummings Foundation (that's $45,000/year). We couldn't be happier or prouder about all that it will mean for LGBTQIA+ youth.
What is even more remarkable is that, out of the 150 grant recipients this year, NAGLY was one of only 25 organizations to have their grant award elevated to a 10-year grant, rather than a 3-year award.
This grant gave NAGLY "The Best Pride Celebration Ever!"

New Pride Merch
In our Pride Place Market, we now have tank tops in a variety of sizes.
For our youth and staff, the cost is only $15. For adults and the community they are $25.
There also a a lot of other great pride merch for sale in our Pride Place Market.
Please inquire at The NAGLY Center in Salem during operation hours. Or email Tony@nagly.org to set up a time to come by.

Youth Film
Workshop Series
Mondays, Now-August 4, 4:00-6:00 PM
NAGLY Salem
"Lights, Camera, Action" is a youth workshop that aims to introduce young participants to the fundamentals of filmmaking, from brainstorming and writing to filming and editing short films. Participants will learn essential skills, such as storyboarding, scriptwriting, camera techniques, and the process of creating a short film. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have developed a short film of their own, gaining hands-on experience in the world of film production.
Each session will be a different workshop! Check out the NAGLY Calendar for specific topics.
We are partnering with Peabody Access TV and will be using their equipment and their expertise!
