CANCELED: Safe Zone: Advocates

Safe Zone Advocates training is the second in the Safe Zone series and was created to further individual knowledge and understanding of LGBTQ+ issues. The training is geared toward helping attendees explore, identify, and expose cultural biases and acquire skills necessary for advocating for marginalized populations.
