Purpose of Meeting
True Colors invites you to attend our community presentation, Strengthening Adult Allyship of LGBTQIA+ Youth in the Flint Hills. The purpose of this event is to promote community engagement and open dialogue opportunities for adults who interact with and are seeking to become stronger allies and supporters of LGBTQIA+ youth, including parents, guardians, school faculty, and community members and leaders. We aim to educate community members on the common risk factors associated with LGBTQIA+ identity and teach them how to support and affirm LGBTQIA+ youth in both private and public spaces. Opportunities for open dialogue will give community members a safe space to ask questions, discuss their experiences, and build community. True Colors aims to increase allyship and strengthen protective factors for the youth we serve by working with groups that our youth commonly identify as sources of stress.
