Annual Fundraiser Planned for Waltham House

The Home for Little Wanderers returns to Club

Café, 209 Columbus Ave., Boston, MA, to celebrate the 11th Anniversary of its Waltham House Program — the first residential group home for GLBTQ youth in New England — on Saturday, April 12, 2014 from 6 – 10 p.m. The event features DJ Gay


Jim from Kiss 108 FM and will include dancing, special appearances by some of the area’s favorite drag queens, hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and a raffle to


benefit Waltham House. Tickets purchased in advance are $40 or $20 with a student ID. Prices go up at the door. This is a 21+ event.



Located in Waltham, The Home for Little Wanderers’ Waltham House is a group home program designed to provide a safe and supportive living environment for up to 12 gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning (GLBTQ) youth ages 14-18. It was the first such program in New England and only the third in the nation, rankings it still holds. Many

young people in the program have previously experienced difficulty (at home or in placement) due to their gender expression or sexual identities. Since Waltham House first opened its doors in October 2002, it has offered residents a safe environment to live while they prepare for family reunification, independent living and future self-sufficiency.
