LGBTQIA+ Social Justice Education Track for youth serving agencies
The LGBTQIA+ Social Justice Education Track offers a progressive two-day, cohort-based learning opportunity for community stakeholders and organizations who seek to build initial awareness, knowledge, and actionable organizational strategies to support LGBTQIA+ youth.
In support of the True Colors Fund initiative, the program seeks to equip youth-serving agencies with staff who are knowledgeable and informed about the needs and strengths of LGBTQIA+ youth so that agencies will be able to maximize their mission by creating an atmosphere where inclusion and equity are central. We view participants as experts in their practice and thought partners in discussing organizational specifics.
The first half of the training will engage participants in a broad conversation around diversity, equity, power, and privilege to understand how one's own identities impact our ability to work effectively with people different from and similar to ourselves. Our facilitators will translate this learning into LGBTQIA+ inclusive concepts and practices including virtual best-practices for serving clients and community in our current context.
