Community discussions and learning opportunities about the experiences of LGBTQ young people in Washtenaw County
The WC3 project is part of a community education and outreach program, and is a joint effort between MOASH, the Neutral Zone, the University of Michigan Spectrum Center, and Springmatter with grant funding from UMHS Community Health Services.
Over the course of 2019, community champions in each of the nine Washtenaw County districts facilitated 1-hour trainings examining LGBTQ youth experiences in their local area. All trainings are free and open to the public. Contact taryn.gal@moash.org for more info about bringing a WC3 workshop to your district!
Participants will learn to:
Understand the concepts of sexual orientation and gender identity
Look at the numbers and hear the experiences of LGBTQ youth in Washtenaw County, and how those experiences impact their mental, social, emotional, and physical health
Identify at least one thing we can do to support LGBTQ youth in our district
Intended audience: Any and all community members (students, parents, teachers, business owners, and others) who would like to know more about LGBTQ youth, sexual orientation, and gender identity/expression.
