RCC Minnesota

Rainbow Collective for Change MN is building safe and affirming spaces for LGBTQIA+ families in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas and raising a generation of inclusive and anti-racist humans.  RCC MN is fiscally sponsored by Twin Cities Pride.

  • Rainbow Play Dates are open to all families who identify as LGBTQIA+ or Queer. This can include (but is not limited to) LGBTQIA+ and gender diverse parents/caregivers, LGBTQIA+ and gender diverse kids, LGBTQIA+ and gender diverse grandparents, ancles, cousins, etc.

    Most play dates include a story time, craft, and coffee for caregivers. Families are encouraged to bring a snack to share with the group. During spring, summer, and fall months, Rainbow Play Dates are hosted at accessible playgrounds. During winter months, we get creative!

  • Coming Soon!

    Rainbow Story Times are for ALL families - all races, genders, family structures, and abilities - to enjoy diverse children's books, practice inclusive language, and learn how to have anti-bias discussions at home.

    We are working to secure funding and partners so all Rainbow Story Times will be in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language and families can go home with free diverse children's books. 

  • Rainbow Summer Camps are week long opportunities for LGBTQIA+ kids and kids with LGBTQIA+ caregivers to find community while exploring self and family identity, diversity, justice, and activism through art.
