Everyone Has a Story--Become a Voice for Change!
SpeakOUT is a community of speakers and volunteers working to create a world free of bias and prejudice by telling the truths of LGBTQ+ lives. We raise awareness about our community to create safer and more inclusive spaces.
SpeakOUT’s all-day training is an empowering experience within a queer-supportive atmosphere to prepare you to share your personal story with others. Join a group of motivated individuals interested in sharing their personal LGBTQ+ story and engaging in dialogue with various audiences such as schools, colleges, businesses, faith communities and more.
This in-person training will take place at Boston Scientific in Marlborough, providing a supportive environment to practice and refine your storytelling abilities. Connect with fellow community members and learn how to effectively communicate your message.
The training will focus on valuable skills such as setting the right tone, shaping and telling a story, overcoming fear, working with a co-speaker, and answering difficult questions. Participants will work in large groups as well as small breakout sessions with experienced speakers to hone their story.
Cost: $75 standard; $35 for seniors/students. Inquire about group rates, sliding scale, and scholarships. Don’t let the cost keep you from participating, please reach out. Pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, visit bit.ly/CentralMATraining or email [email protected].
