Through community education and professional development, Kaleidoscope Youth Center aims to expand the safer and affirming spaces of our Drop-in Center into the greater community by working with organizations, community members, educators, and youth-serving professionals through education and consultation; and empowering youth leaders to organize their schools and local communities.
Cultivating Affirmation & Belonging for LGBTQIA+ Youth
Examine statistics related to discrimination within schools and risks that LGBTQIA+ youth face on a day-to-day basis, then discuss ways that professionals can improve the general climate of schools, community centers, organizations, agencies, counseling offices, etc., through various strategies from simple word choice to school/district/organizational policy change.
Example Curriculum
"THANK YOU...
...you effectively hit on all of the things our staff and faculty needed to hear. While I'm sure we had folks in the audience that might have had some (needed) ouch moments, we have gotten nothing but good feedback from our colleagues.
We also recognize that this can't be where it ends if we truly want to support our students."
