🌟 HEAT Program Showcase 2025: Celebrating Youth, Health & Community in Brooklyn 🌟📅

Tuesday, June 10, 2025 | 3:00 PM – 6:30 PM📍 HSEB Auditorium, SUNY Downstate

The HEAT Program is proud to present our 2025 Showcase—a powerful celebration of resilience, leadership, and community impact led by the youth and for the youth. This annual event shines a light on the unique voices that drive our work forward and the transformative health care model we’ve built together right here in Brooklyn.

This isn’t just a gathering. It’s a movement.



✨ What to Expect:

  • Youth Panel Discussions: Hear directly from young leaders as they share their personal journeys, challenges, and the ways HEAT has empowered them to grow, thrive, and become advocates for themselves and their peers.

  • Live Performances: Experience the talent, passion, and cultural expression of our community through music, spoken word, and performance art.

  • Program Presentations: Learn how HEAT continues to innovate in providing culturally responsive, affirming care for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults across the borough.

  • Merch Giveaways: Grab limited-edition HEAT gear and celebrate in style.


🌈 Why It Matters:


The HEAT Program has long stood at the forefront of health equity, youth empowerment, and community-centered care. From providing access to PrEP and mental health services to creating safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth and those most impacted by health disparities—HEAT does more than respond to need. We lead with compassion, creativity, and youth voices at the center.


This showcase is a reflection of that mission in action. It’s where health meets hope, and where every young person is seen, heard, and celebrated—just the way they are.


📢 You’re Invited!


Whether you’re a youth, a parent, a community partner, or just passionate about health justice—this event is for you. Let’s come together to honor our journey, uplift our voices, and keep pushing for a brighter, healthier Brooklyn.
