Registration Open for Leadership Summit Focused on LGBTQ Young Adults of Color
Online registration is now open for the HUE Leadership Development Program. HUE is a revolutionary project for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) young adults of color, ages 18-25. The mission of HUE is to build the leadership, political consciousness, and organizing skills of LGBTQ youth of color across the state of Ohio. The project will be directed and coordinated by Diversity & Organizational Strategist Erin Upchurch who is a long time community activist and advocate for social justice; with multiple years of experience in community planning and outreach.
Participants in the HUE Leadership Development Program will attend a day long leadership summit where they will receive hands on training and instruction designed to develop future activists and community leaders. They will engage in one on one and group mentorship from local LGBTQ/allied leaders of color, and will work together to design and complete a local community service project.
 For sponsorship and/or mentoring opportunities, please contact Erin Upchurch at leadershipdevelopment@
