Director Of Education
Burlington, Vermont
As the Director of Education at Outright Vermont, it's my job to make sure people are learning about what it means to be a queer-identified youth here in Vermont, and more importantly, why that matters! I travel statewide facilitating workshops and conversations with school administrators, students, and other community-based folks about how to make it better for LGBTQ folks, specifically youth age 13-22. We organize queer and trans* youth panels, run a peer education project where high school youth educate/mentor middle school youth, and coordinate statewide VT QSA/GSA Network events and leadership development opportunities. We aim to work in partnership with youth and infuse their perspective in all we do, believing it's of utmost importance that they feel empowered to share their experiences, wants and needs, ultimately taking up the space they deserve!
