Greetings,
Please see the details below and the attachments.
GSA Summit
Location: Clackamas County Community College
Date: Saturday, March 11th, 2023
Time: 10:00a-6:00p
We will be hosting a leadership event for LGBTQ+ youth/young adults ages 13-23, the GSA Summit ‘23. We will have 10-12 different youth and community partner led workshops, a resource fair, 2 keynote speakers, a raffle, and catered lunch. Also, during workshops we will have a quiet room, and an activity room, in case attendees would prefer to skip the workshop topics at that time. Youth are invited to attend (even for just part of the event) and community partners are welcome to support.
Some previous workshop topics we’ve had at our Summit include mindfulness meditation, neurodivergence in the trans community, pronouns discussion, stimming activities, LGBTQIA2S+ experiences at school, how to be a GSA leader, LGBQIA2S+ in the media.
If you’d like to know more about what these things entail, please email me for more information. See the Summit Outline below. Be sure to sign up!
