PROPOSALS FOR YOUTH & COLLEGE-AGE WORKSHOPS
Proposals must be received no later than July 15th.

Purpose:
The purpose of Models of Pride youth workshops is to provide LGBTQ youth and their allies between the ages of
12 to 24 an opportunity to ask questions of themselves and their peers; to explore the nature of their orientation
and identity; to gain an understanding about how their community relates to society in general; to become aware of
community resources and realize that allies exist for them among their peers in the adult LGBTQ community and in
their schools.

Guidelines:
Models of Pride is seeking proposals for potential workshops that embody our purpose from both the youth and adult
communities. MOP encourages workshop proposals that integrate and acknowledge communities with regard to
race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, culture, ability, age, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We encourage an
interactive component for the workshops.

All youth workshops will be grouped into one of five categories ( rungs of the ladder to success) which are
Health, Home, Education, Career, and Personal Development.

Workshop Topics May Include: Relationships • History • Sexuality • Family issues • Political Activism
Gender Identity • Mental Health • Culture • Safer Sex • Self-Esteem • Recreation/Sports • Foster Care
Substance Use & Abuse • Literature • Spirituality • HIV/AIDS/STIs • Education • Religion • Disabilities Careers • Gay-
Straight Alliances • Immigration • Arts • Hate Crimes/Harassment • Ethnic/Cultural Identity Media/Communications •
Legal Issues & Rights.

The Models of Pride planning committee will review and evaluate all workshop proposals for content and merit. An
e-mail will be sent to the primary facilitator no later than August 15th to inform them if the workshop proposal has
been accepted or not. Models of Pride will handle all logistical arrangements for your presentation if your workshop is
selected. Final Workshop Titles and Descriptions will be due September 1st.
