Is your school welcoming to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning (LGBTQ) youth and families? OK2BME can help!

OK2BME is proud to announce a new 2 year project called OK2BME: OUT In Schools in partnership with the Waterloo Region District School Board, funded by the Astley Family Foundation.

• The “How To” behind starting a GSA
• Ideas and strategies to sustain your GSA
