The Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center is dedicated to the safety and well-being of all our community members including our youth population. We believe it takes a village to understand, acknowledge, and protect. This is why we asked the Trevor Project to come to help us be better allies for our youth through community ally training.

About The Trevor Project Those of you may not be aware,  The Trevor Project is the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit organization for LGBTQ+ young people. They provide information and support to LGBTQ+ young people 24/7, all year round.

LGBTQ+ Ally Training This cultural competency training is designed to create dialogue around being an adult ally for LGBTQ+ youth by informing participants about common terminology, the "coming out" process, and challenges at home, in school, and the community.

What You Will Learn Through activities, participants are encouraged to explore their biases, build knowledge, and develop empathy. Participants will be able to:

• Discuss the services offered by The Trevor Project and how youth can access them

• Describe what it means to be an ally

• Describe various terminology related to LGBTQ+ communities

• Identify unique challenges facing LGBTQ+ people

• Identify ways to create safer and more supportive environments for LGBTQ+ people

• Identify ways to combat bias in yourself and your community by developing cultural awareness and sensitivity
