Our mission is to make our communities a better place for LGBTQ youth. Our knowledgeable, passionate staff offer training to health and human service providers, youth workers, educators, administrators, and anyone else who works with LGBTQ youth. We also work with schools and youth programs to help educate students on LGBTQ issues. If your program is having trouble with bullying, consider having us help out. Peer Youth Educators are sometimes available to co-train, and all services are always free.

Trainings last anywhere from 1 hour to 2 days. We are happy to work with you on any topic you need, but here are some workshops and trainings we have offered in the past:

LGBTQ basics: What do all of those letters mean? Why would someone call themselves queer? What does transgender mean? Can a person choose to be gay? All these questions answered, and more! An introduction to what it means to be Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,Transgender, Queer or Questioning.

HIV 101 Youth Education: Our Peer Youth Educators and STAP Staff present 1-2 hour trainings on the basics of HIV and AIDS. Condom demonstrations and safer sex supplies optional (but free!)

Gender Identity: The basics on boys, girls, and everyone in between! We talk about transgender, transexual, cross-dressing, drag preforming, and other gender non-conforming identities and activities (we recommend that this that this training follow LGBTQ 101).

Safe Zone Training: We will train your staff on how to be a supportive ally to clients, colleagues, friends, and community members who identify as LGBTQ.
All trainings are tailored to your specific needs, space, technology, and agency culture.
