Joy As Resistance

Joyful space: we offer consultation and hands-on partnership support to educators, schools, and youth-serving organizations to create joyful adn inclusive spaces for queer youth. These services include gsa (gender-sexuality alliance) club start-up and ongoing support, assessment and recommendations for improvement, and intersectional professional development training on inclusive policies and practices within the topics of gender and sexuality.

Big queer, little queer: queer youth come together and connect with queer adults to create professional and personal relationships, which increases their access to social capital. In turn, queer youth continue to expand their capacity for social and emotional well-being and contribute to joyous communities. Our mentorship program was requested and inspired by the youth we serve. We use a personalized matching process to pair lgbtqia2+ young people with adults with similar interests and identities.
