Preparing for Pride - From Undoing Assumptions, to Embodying Allyship

A four part series training to better understand and support the LGBTQ+ community; through Pride and beyond.
Becoming Aware of Our Assumptions: Conversations to Create more Inclusive Spaces (Weds. May 13)
We all approach the world with open minds, but still have
inherent beliefs and assumptions that impact and shape
our everyday actions and interactions without us
knowing. This training works to help us recognize
assumptions we may make about others, understand their
roots, and explore how to reduce their impact.
Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and
Expression (SOGIE) 101 (Weds. May 27)
These are identities we all hold and have relationships
with, and in this training we work to better understand
the LGBTQ+ community through that lens. We also touch
on extended topics such as pronouns, best practices, and
supporting people exploring and sharing their identities

Trans 101 (weds. June 10)
Seeking a space to learn about and discuss relevant and
pressing issues Trans, Non-Binary and Gender Diverse
communities face? This training offers in-depth
conversations on topics such as transphobia, euphoria
and dysphoria, and mis/disinformation about
transitioning. You will leave with tips and tricks on how to
be an advocate for the Trans* community.
Putting Allyship Into Action (Weds. June 24)
Ready to move from learning to action? In this training,
we will work together to build an understanding of, and
the confidence to embody, principles of allyship and
advocacy. We will use breakouts and scenarios to help
participants begin to utilize these principles to develop a
personalized toolkit that will allow them to feel more able
to advocate for others based on their unique skills.
