Continuing the Conversation: Providing Safe Learning Environments for LGBTQ Children, Teens, Adults, and Allies

This three-part workshop series is designed for anyone interested in creating safe learning environments for all students. Teachers, school staff, members of youth-serving or community organizations, parents, students, and all community members are invited.

Workshop 3 will welcome acclaimed young adult fiction author Alex Sanchez. Alex will open the workshop with a talk on how homophobia affects not just LGBTQ community members, but our communities as a whole. Alex will draw upon his own experiences as well as those shared with him by his readers to address issues facing LGBTQ youth, including those of faith and spirituality.

Workshop discussion will focus on how to deepen and sustain LGBTQ efforts in our schools. Our ultimate objective is to create a toolkit that will be useful to schools committed to creating safe learning environments for all students, staff, and community members.

This event is free and open to the public. Attendance at workshops 1 and 2 is not required to attend this event.

Please RSVP if you will be attending.
