The Canadian Centre For Gender and Sexual Diversity (CCGSD) wants YOU to join us in creating safer spaces for LGBTQ+ Youth. We are going to be in Toronto from November 15-16, 2017.
The CCGSD intersectionally promotes diversity in gender identity, gender expression, and romantic and/or sexual orientation in all its forms, through services in the areas of education, health, and advocacy. We run programming across Canada to help build allyship and uplift the LGBTQ+ community. We are also a proud leader in the International Day of Pink, where we encourage millions of people to wear pink and stand up to bullying.These programs and campaigns are possible due to the hard work of our volunteers, who allow us to reach 250,000 people annually. We encourage you to find out more about CCGSD & the International Day of Pink, and get involved in making your community a safer and more diverse place.
We are in your community running a regional LGBTQ2+ Youth Forum this year, and we need your help to create safer spaces!
This regional forum will work with hundreds of youth and educators to help them understand issues of homophobia, transphobia, transmisogyny, bullying, intersectional violence, and discrimination, and give them new tools to make their schools & community safer. Our conferences are a collaboration between local organizations and the CCGSD’s national resources, allowing us to provide a full day of workshops and training specifically designed to suit the needs right here. The training, workshops, and resources we are able to provide at our forums encourage the creation of sustainable networks within the community as well as skill-building on an individual level. We hope to provide diversity training and workshops in as many communities as possible.
However, to run each Forum, we need to raise $7000.
As such, we need your help. We hope that you would consider providing the CCGSD with a gift that would allow us to continue our forums and anti-discrimination work in your community:
If you donate $25 you can help us bring one youth to an LGBTQ+ Forum
If you donate $50 you help us run a workshop
If you donate $100 you help us pay for a keynote speaker
If you donate $250 you pay for snacks (breakfast for low-income participants)
If you donate $500 you become our HERO and help us cover the cost of travel for a school of youth to attend
If you donate $1000 you allow us to cater the event for our participants at no cost to them
If you want to donate more, let us know, and we are happy to tell you what you can do!
To say thank you for your donation, you will be featured on our website, your logos & a mention will be featured at the event, and we, of course, will invite you to participate.
With your donation, we can help change lives and encourage LGBTQ2+ youth to be themselves. It will also encourage allies to help create and support safer spaces for marginalized communities.
