All QJC Programs

The Queer Joy Collaborative is the home of the Queer Joy Chorus, and envisions growing to support multiple programs involving arts, community-building, and mutual aid. Join our mailing list to get connected with this growing community.

Do you have a document that needs notarized to protect you and your family? On Sunday, December 8th, Grover Wehman-Brown, a trans parent and licensed notary in the state of Massachusetts, is offering a notary clinic for LGBTQ community members and any other community members who will be at increased risk after January 20th, 2025. This may include the notarization of wills and other legally binding paperwork.

Please use the booking link to book a 15-minute slot on December 8th.

QJC Chorus

Born out of The Pride Chorus at Northampton Community Music Center (NCMC), the QJC hopes to expand our reach in the coming years while maintaining our core values: Music is a great source of joy and community for many. Everyone is welcome in the Queer Joy Chorus regardless of experience or ability to pay, and without audition. All you need is a love of singing and a willingness to be part of an accepting LGBTQIA+ community. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the QJC will register folks through the Pride Chorus at NCMC.

Rhythm and Radiance Kids Chorus

Within the next week we will be launching the Joyful Kids Chorus! Like the Queer Joy Chorus, this will be a space for building community, finding joy in singing, and accepting all people. We’ll chose our music together, centering music that kids love to sing. We’ll learn about music-making together as well in a supportive, fun environment.

More coming soon

We have many programs that we are about to launch. Keep your eyes and ears open for a mystery writing workshop, postcard writing events, and a winter ball!

With your help we can bring more queer joy programming to Western MA and beyond.
