Join us for a thought-provoking discussion at the Safe Schools Rainbow Roundtable where we delve into real-life experiences of LGBTQ+ youth and how civic engagement shapes their journey towards college and professional careers. In this panel, we explore inspiring stories like Alex, a non-binary high school senior whose volunteer work at an LGBTQ+ youth center led to invaluable leadership skills and a scholarship at a prestigious university. We also hear from Jordan, a transgender youth who initiated change in their high school by advocating for gender-neutral bathrooms, which sparked an interest in political science and led to mentorship from a local politician. Additionally, we learn about Sam, whose workshops on intersectionality of race, gender, and sexuality fostered empathy and led to a passion for social work. Join our panelists as they discuss how these experiences shape the future paths of LGBTQ+ youth and the crucial role civic engagement plays in their professional aspirations. Stay tuned for an insightful conversation on empowering our future leaders! Support Safe Schools South Florida’s mission by visiting SafeSchoolsSouthFlorida.org.
