Introductory LGBTQ+ Training

We have several options for introductory LGBTQ+ Trainings.  We have a standard, 3-hour safe training or we can provide smaller trainings that focus on specific areas, such as terminology, pronouns, coming out, transitioning, responding to bias incidents or microaggressions, etc.  You can let us know what your organization needs, and we will build the training that is right for you.

At Big Brothers Big Sisters justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) is an integral part of our values and mission. Together we affirm that every person has the opportunity to reach their full potential. We are committed to creating and cultivating a safe environment where all individuals feel respected and valued equally. Amney mirrored this in a safe and judgement-free training where our staff was able to ask questions and learn. The experience of the simulation that Amney walked us through has allowed us to have deeper empathy which in turn has allowed us to be a better support for the people we serve.

We are extremely grateful for the time Liz and Amney spent with us. Our training session was unorthodox, but Liz and Amney were flexible about prioritizing our concerns and guiding our thinking towards solutions that best support the youth we serve and the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. Of all the DEI trainings we have completed, our organization most often looks to this one for guidance. We would readily recommend it to any individual, team, or organization looking to improve their support and forwarding of equitable values.

The Brigade, Neenah, WI

Perhaps what I was most appreciative of was the absolutely judgment-free, safe space we were given to explore our thoughts and ask open, honest questions within. This was an absolutely phenomenal chance for the folks in our district who tend to work most closely with our LGBTQIA+ students to deep-dive into those basic principles of having respect, empathy, and understanding for all people, specifically this population of individuals. The training not only helped us better-understand ourselves and our own journeys, but it ultimately helped foster an opportunity for us to better-navigate the diverse world we live within, so we can serve those we work with from a place of compassion and inclusivity.

Liz and Amney are so warm and responsive in coordinating trainings and truly walk the walk of creating a safe, inclusive learning environment that builds knowledge, deepens empathy, and elevates a call to action with ideas about how to show up as an active ally. Our staff use words like “powerful” and “impactful” when describing training sessions with Liz and Amney. “I felt so supported and seen in the room.” – Training participant “I will take this into my everyday life in hopes to be a better ally.” – Training participant
