The 18th Annual

Coming Out Day Breakfast

One Heart, One Community

JASMYN would like to welcome you in by honoring the courage of coming out. Join us for the 18th Annual Coming Out Day Breakfast.

New Date: Thursday, November 7th, 2024

7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront

This event not only honors the act of "coming out" but also invites everyone to support and uplift Northeast Florida's LGBTQIA+ teens and young adults. JASMYN is the only nonprofit in the area providing essential services like medical and mental health care, emergency housing supports, and crisis intervention for LGBTQIA+ teens and young adults. The Breakfast brings together community members, allies, and leaders for an inspiring morning filled with discussions, personal stories, and networking opportunities.

By coming together on November 7th, we show our young people that we care and demonstrate our commitment to standing as "One Heart, One Community."
