Our professional development for staff of Philadelphia-area schools and out-of-school time programs focuses on issues that have an impact on LGBTQ youth and families. 

We work with staff on building a deeper awareness of concepts related to sexual orientation and gender identity, identifying some of the primary challenges that LGBTQ youth might face in their schools and communities, and on developing strategies to combat homophobia and transphobia in their schools and programs.

All of our trainings are provided free of charge for Philadelphia schools and out-of-school time programs.
