Signature Community Events
FREE EDCATION SESSION! January 29th, 7-8:30pm
Join us for a FREE offering of our LGBTQ+ Basics and Beyond training ($500+ value)! Local businesses, organizations, schools, faith centers, and community members are invited to join us on January 29th at 7pm to learn how to foster LGBTQ+ inclusive environments and combat homophobia and transphobia in your community.
Participants will leave with up-to-date vocabulary, answers to frequently asked questions, and improved tools for allying with queer and transgender people. Our presentations work for organizations talking about LGBTQ+ topics for the first time and those prepared to take a deeper dive into the material. This session is 90 minutes long, including time for a Q&A.
AND! Any group that books an education session with us for the first quarter of 2026 (January-March) will receive 20% off the booking price! Email lily.pearl@outmetrowest.org to discuss your organizational needs.
