the Youth Empowerment Summit is coming up
By Dr. Charlie Glickman • Oct 22nd, 2008 • Category: BlogI just got this link to the 2008 Youth Empowerment Summit, hosted by the Gay-Straight Alliance Network. The con is on December 6 in San Francisco and it’s an amazing resource for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, questioning, and straight ally youth. It’s open to all youth and allies, with a focus on middle school and high school. Adults and teachers are welcome.
You’ve probably heard lots of stories about how unsafe schools are for queer and genderqueer youth and I’m not going to link to those articles here. Suffice to say that the GSA Network is an amazing organization that helps local GSA organizations find resources, build community, and increase safety for all students.
Please help spread the word. This is always a great event for youth and their allies and they need your support.
