"I can’t be there for other people unless I’m there for myself. I can’t really work to push our movement without really investing in myself. By investing in yourself you’re also investing in your community."
Being a part of this group offers you the opportunity to connect with educators who share your gender identity and/or sexual orientation and can relate to your life experience both inside and outside of school.
This virtual resource group explores the kinds of institutional and interpersonal support we, as LGBTQ educators, need. We’ll share our stories, discuss initiatives already in place in our schools and in our other communities; the kinds of support we still need, and how to find that it. We’ll affirm and strengthen our own identities and share resources for our own self care.
