A GSA is a student run club in a high school or middle school that brings together LGBTQ and straight students to support each other and provide a safe place. The clubs allow students to socialize and create a platform for activism to eliminate homophobia and transphobia and transform the school climate to one of acceptance.
Together with your involvement, Sunserve’s Making It Better Program can bring knowledge and wisdom to empower today’s youth to become successful and happy individuals. It starts today and you can make that important step in enriching an LGBTQ teen’s life.
This training also will equip volunteers to assist in their youth drop-in center, youth groups or educational opportunities.
The next training is Saturday, January 21, 2012. Call Mandi Hawke at 954-764-5150 or email mhawke@sunserve.org to get more information and to enroll.
*Participation requires a Level 2 Background Screening and a full day of training.
