LGBTQ+ Affinity Session: Be different together

Tuesday November 5, 2024 11:00am - 12:30pm PST

Room 318, Greater Tacoma Convention Center

This is an intentional space for LGBTQ+ providers to create additional time for connection and peer support, learning, and networking that benefits each provider/org by expanding their resources and relationships. This space can help folks identify others who face similar questions, challenges and experiences related to aspects of their identity and/or organizational setting.

In this session, participants will:

- Experience a taste of Oasis - the queer youth center we all wished we had growing up.
- Decompress, hang out with others informally and/or self-organize meet-ups, meals or relationships with other providers.

Oasis will prepare this room with self-care activities, snacks and other items for relaxation and queer joy!
