Essentials of Gender & Orientation (Zoom)
July 22 & September 30 | 6:00–8:30 PM
More and more young people are expressing diverse experiences of gender and orientation—but many still face misunderstanding, exclusion, and even harm. This interactive online course invites parents, educators, and community members to reflect on their own experiences of gender, engage in thoughtful conversations, and gain practical tools for supporting gender- and orientation-diverse youth.
