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.
