For workshops and resources regarding K - 12 schools, we recommend reaching out to the Bluegrass Chapter of GLSEN. Every day GLSEN works to ensure that LGBTQ students are able to learn and grow in a school environment free from bullying and harassment. Together, we can transform our nation’s K-12 schools into the safe and affirming environment all youth deserve. More information can be found here: https://www.glsen.org/chapters/bluegrass.
