Description:
Are you being bullied or do you know someone who is being bullied in your school? Do you feel alone? Are you looking for a space where you can be your authentic self, meet other young people like you, make new friends, and gain social and leadership skills? Do you believe every kid should have access to safer schools and healthier neighborhoods? If you responded YES to least one of these questions, we would like for you to join us!
The LGBTQ+ Youth Council promotes self-love, friendship, inclusion, fun and exciting wellness activities, life discussions, discipline, resiliency, social responsibility, intersectionality, know your rights education, leadership qualities, and early professional/career development among San Fernando Valley youth, ages 10-17. During our #SFVyouth meetings, Youth Council members share their experiences in a safe, supportive, and bilingual (English and Spanish) environment. Members engage and develop one another through courageous conversations, activities about self-determination, wellness education, healing and liberation arts, and community decision-making. Topics included in our curriculum are chosen by our youth leaders. Students have access to local role models, youth-driven projects, and a diverse array of free trainings in order to sharpen their advocacy and leadership skills. Members gain new friendships, confidence, and a deep understanding of how to value and express themselves within the context of their intersecting identities and our local movement for LGBTQ+, racial, environmental, and economic justice. Lunch is provided. Register today here.
