Sweet House

Sweet House, new community center is opening next month in Fort Smith to serve LGBTQ+ youth. The house, a former Central Presbyterian Church day care facility, has been completely refurbished with church funding and private donations to host both faith-based and secular family gatherings. Executive director, Patrick Boze, a board-certified life coach, will operate "Club Z" at Sweet House as a structured place for kids and teens to hang out, or in some cases, find safe refuge.
