LGBTQIA+ Youth Advisory Council

The Spahr Center is building a new program, and we want LGBTQIA+ youth in Marin County to lead the way!

We are building a LGBTQIA+ Youth Advisory Council of 20 youth who will serve as visionaries and creators of a multi-media youth suicide prevention awareness and resource campaign. The theme of the campaign is: When I love me, I love you.

As a participant of this leadership group, LGBTQIA+ youth will:

• Lead the design, creation, and implementation of a media campaign with support from The Spahr Center staff

• Learn leadership, media, and prevention skills

• Earn a community advocate certificate highlighting your leadership in the LGBTQIA+ youth community of Marin

• Earn community service hours

• Participate in a culminating, end of the year celebration.

Anyone can nominate an LGBTQIA+ youth to participate, and youth can self-nominate too!
