In order to better serve our gay and transgender youth,  LGBTQ Connection is offering a FREE training! Often, people want to support gay & trans youth, but don’t know how. Sometimes, this fear gets in the way of being an advocate for others. Our training is designed to meet people where they are at to create the change necessary to make our youth able to feel safe and grow. Even individuals who are well versed in this topic have a lot to gain from the conversations generated & the resources available in our space.

“Reaching and Serving LGBTQ Youth in Sonoma Valley”” is a best practice workshop on October 11th, Wednesday  from 1:00–5:00pm! This training is to help providers to improve awareness, access & inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, & Questioing (LGBTQ) Youth in Sonoma Valley.

Join our workshop to:

• Learn about LGBTQ identity, terms & issues.
• Hear personal experiences from a panel of local LGBTQ people.
• Take away practical best practices for what you & your org can do to better reach & serve LGBTQ people.
• Have opportunities for discussion, questions, & comments.

Who is this for? Providers who are interested in improving their reach & understanding of LGBTQ youth who work in Sonoma Valley serving youth.
