EDUCATION
Education is the key to everything we do. What has been shown time and again is that first-hand knowledge and understanding that comes directly from the LGBTQ+ community can radically change the perception of queer rights issues. Once someone has the misinformation replaced with truth, fear with understanding, and bigotry with friendship- then real change is possible.
Live Education
We have spent years as a leading source of localized and specialized training for local, state, and federal government organizations, private businesses, religious communities, and more! Our volunteers have amassed an ever-evolving and widely diverse collection of educational content that informs our monthly recurring series available free to the public as well as our in-depth customized training options. You can learn more about these options by clicking here.
Digital Information Sharing
Through a combination of platforms and partners, we work to develop digital education content and community insight pieces that promote allyship, topical awareness, and knowledge advancement. By utilizing our resources in terms of both talented people and digital services, we can help advance causes faster and further then ever before. You can find our work online, in social media, and in our monthly newsletter sent via email.
Scholarships
Every year, we work to offer a scholarship to those in the most intersectional and marginalized groups. As the first LGBTQ+-specific scholarship offered in Loudoun County, established in 2021, we have awarded over $33,000 through 2025. This year, we are offering one $5,000 scholarship. Learn about how to qualify and apply by the deadline on March 20 by clicking here.
Queer Advocacy and Visibility
We refuse to accept the status quo of bigotry and hatred as the new normal. We have worked in Loudoun County for over 20 years to promote a culture of acceptance, love, and respect for our fellow neighbors. We accomplish this through a mix of advocacy and education with other organizations, elected officials, government agencies, and news media.
