2022 Bridge Conference

If you work with youth, young adults, or want to create a meaningful space for yourself and those you work with to come together and experience QTIPOC (Queer, Trans, Intersex People of Color) joy and connection, this is a great workshop to attend. We will discuss how this program came to be, how it has evolved over the years, and the positive outcomes for participants.  

In this workshop, participants will have an opportunity to hear directly from some of Oasis Youth Center's QTIPOC youth, volunteers, and staff about their experience in this program and the importance of having spaces specifically for this community. Additionally, we will share about the impact affinity groups can have, especially for folks who are a part of exploited and excluded communities from the past and present.
There will also be opportunities to engage in group discussions with regard to implementation and barriers to creating a program like ours at Oasis so we can build a network of resources to bridge the gap between illuminating the need for these spaces, imagining, and becoming.

You will leave this space feeling empowered and inspired to cultivate and foster spaces that provide an authentic sense of community for youth and adults to thrive through connection!
