SEXUAL MINORITIES IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM: A WORKSHOP FOR TEACHERS,  
COUNSELORS AND ADMINISTRATORS

This youth-led workshop will explore issues facing lesbian, gay,  
bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students in our public schools. It  
will be a combination of presentation, discussion, panel, and group  
activities designed to give participants the tools to effectively work  
with sexual minority students. Practice skills such as how to respond  
when LGBT students in your classrooms or hallways are targets of  
verbal or physical bullying.

The workshop is based on the Sexual Minority Youth Resource Center’s  
“Bridge 13” program. It has been presented by the Washington County  
Pride Project at schools and social service agencies throughout  
Oregon. It is open to all professionals and students in the education  
field or to parents who care about this issue in their children's  
schools.

Sponsored by the Pacific University Center for Gender Equity.
