Pride for Youth Goes Back to School!

Have us come to your school!

Pride for Youth heads back to school, just like you! And we welcome our community educators, Bob & Devon! They are fun, entertaining and know a whole lot about homophobia & transphobia - and how YOU can stop it! And now, they are both coming to a school near YOU!

Did you know that last year, Pride for Youth taught workshops on homophobia & transphobia in over 35 Long Island middle, high-school and college classes?  In 2012 we taught over 6,000 Long Island young people about homophobia, how it plays out in their school & what they can do to stop it! We also taught young people about what it means to be transgender and how to stop transphobia. Our Community Education program sends Pride for Youth staff to local schools for all different classes, after-school clubs and school-wide events, such as Uniondale High School's 'Respect Day'. And the best part is - if you're a school, the workshop is FREE!

Myths and stereotypes about LGBTQ teenagers limit young people’s appreciation of diversity and can contribute to violence and harassment in school and community settings. Many young people (and adults) think they have little experience with LGBTQ people and don't know what they can do to help out - until they sit through our workshops!

Check out out list of workshops here and if you are an educator, GSA member or want to ensure that your school becomes a safer place for LGBTQ youth - call Pride for Youth today at 516-679-9000!
