The Identity Space

The Identity youth center is located at 206 State Street in downtown Binghamton. Identity is open to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning youth and their allies aged 14-20, and all programs, services, and activities are always free! If you’re a teenager who believes in individuality and equality, you belong at Identity!

We’re open from 3 to 8 Wednesdays, and 3 to 10 pm Fridays so drop by to hang out or talk, or come to our weekly programs or special events.
