Open LGBTQ+ Education Class

Who

These quarterly sessions are for anyone (LGBTQ+ or ally) who is looking to brush up on LGBTQ+ terminology, pronoun usage, and tips for what to do when mistakes are made (i.e.: misgendering, deadnaming, etc.).
We all have to start somewhere and everyone could use a refresher – all levels of understanding are welcome to attend.

What to expect

Informative session, with activities and group discussion.
Space to ask potentially uncomfortable questions, free of judgement (great for parents of LGBTQ+ kids & partners of newly “out” LGBTQ+ folks).
You’ll leave with a printed copy of the presentation and additional materials to assist with future questions.
Each class will require a $10 investment to reserve a seat – financial waiver available upon request.
- We’ve experienced a disproportionate number of absences, and can no longer offer this class as a free resource.
Parent/guardian is required for attendees under 18 y/o.
