GAAMC is the largest and oldest gay and lesbian group in New Jersey. The group was started over 24 years ago by 4 people looking for a place to meet others like themselves. We are now an organization of over 600 members. We meet each Monday evening in suburban Morris County, NJ. Our weekly attendance is between 250 and 300 members and non-members. From 7:30 to 8:30pm we run rap groups of different types, including but not limited to singles, and mixed gender groups. From 8:45pm to 10:00pm is our main meeting with varied topics: some serious such as lawyers, AIDS support; some light and entertaining, such as "Gay Family Feud", Jesse Hultberg and The Flirtations.

In addition to our weekly meetings, we run the statewide Gay Helpline of NJ, (201.285.1595), staffed 7 evenings a week from 7:30pm to 10:30pm with a recording at other times. Our Helpline staff is trained to deal with all types of calls, from information and referral requests to peer counceling in such areas as coming out, safer sex/AIDS, and relationships. We also publish a newsletter each month called Challenge, and an annual guide to Gay NJ called the Pride Guide. We also have a Speaker's Bureau that presents "Gay 101" for various groups and a political awareness committee.

Together with P-FLAG and other organizations, GAAMC sponsors Gay and Lesbian Youth - NJ, a support group for young men and woymn ages 16 through 21 who identify themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual or are questioning their orientation. The group, which meets on Saturdays in various locations throughout the state, is mediated by adult volunteers whom are carefully screened. For more information about GALY-NJ, please call our Helpline at 201.285.1595. Additionally, you may want to access the National Directory of Gay/Les/Bi Youth Groups and Resources.
