COLAGE Speak Out and OUTspoken Families Trainings in San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles!

Do you want to impact change for youth and families? Become OUTSPOKEN!

Join over 650 LGBTQ parents, youth and adult children of LGBTQ people, extended family members and caring allies who have already committed to making a commitment to speak about the need for full family equality. Parents will become a part of Family Pride's national speakers bureau for family equality, OUTSpoken Families while youth and adults with LGBT parents will join the COLAGE national network of activists, Speak OUT.

\When we share the true experiences and lives of our families, we impact change- learn how to use public speaking, informal conversations or the media to make a difference in the lives of children, youth, adults and parents in LGBT families. With separate sessions for COLAGErs (youth and adults), parents and allies, this training is for anyone wishing to impact change for LGBT families.

Trina Olson Program & Education Manager for Family Pride and Meredith Fenton, COLAGE Program Director will lead this exciting training with specific breakouts for parents, allies and youth and adults with LGBT parents.
