LGBTQ+ Youth Allyship Series Part 3 of 3

LGBTQ Youth Allyship → Session 3: Support and Integration

Join us for brunch, fun, and learning at Freedom Forward’s HYPE Center, 198 Potrero Ave!

The purpose of this series is to support staff working in DCYF-funded programs in developing allyship skills with their youth and staff to increase feelings of belonging and safety for LGTBQ+ staff and youth program participants. The goal is for cohort participants to walk away feeling more confident in supporting allyship at their sites. 

Each session will include a combination of providing participants with opportunities to learn and share activities and ideas, as well as allowing emergent “problems of practice” to be discussed. 

As with all Spark Decks workshops, this series will focus on the process of innovating new ideas from a “spark” and reflecting and modifying activities each time they are implemented. In this way, learning on-the-job and the continuous quality improvement cycle are embedded into the workshop. Optional 1:1 coaching is also available, for anyone who would like additional support in increasing LGBTQ+ youth-allyship at their sites.

Goal: Through this session, we will understand what we mean when we say we are showing “Support” for our youth, and will integrate what we learned during the series so we can continue moving the work forward

Objectives: By the end of the session, participants will…

• Come to a shared definition of “support”
• Learn and share ways to support LGBTQ+ students
• Review what we learned throughout the series
• Create a plan and commitments for developing a more supportive program for LGTBQ+ students and staff

Each participant will receive a copy of the LGBTQ+ Youth Allyship deck and other useful materials.

This session will take place at Freedom Forward HYPE Center, 198 Potrero Ave
