Project Q is the youth program of the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center serving lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, and straight allied young adults ages 24 and under. Established in 1999, Project Q (PQ) has grown to one of the largest programs at the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center.[citation needed]
PQ has three drop-in days, a day for small groups, and a day for "population specific" groups: ladies lounge, Inside Out, and FOCUS. Through its programming, activities, groups and events, Project Q provides a space for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth and their straight allies.[1]
