Speaker's Bureau

Our Speaker's Bureau goes to schools to engage students, teachers, and administrators in dialogue about queer vocabulary, school climates, and (most frequently) how to address bullying and harassment. We currently have fifteen active queer youth on the panel who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, gender queer, questioning, and allies. Their ages range from as young as 13 to as old as 22.

Witnessing Vermont queer youth sharing their stories, first-hand accounts, and experiences about their lives is truly a unique and powerful learning tool. We are repeatedly told that our panels are the most effective education program that we provide. We provide an annual Speaker's Panel training for new and current youth in which they are instructed how to most effectively tell their stories, provided with a basic overview of sexuality terminology and theory, and encouraged to build friendships with each other.

Invite the panel to your school today! Call 802-865-9677.
