SPARK Kindness presents this FREE program: LGBTQ+ Basics and Beyond with OUT MetroWest

Curious about some part of the LGBTQ+ acronym? Want to support transgender people but not sure where to start? This presentation will equip participants with up-to-date vocabulary, answers to frequently asked (and frequently awkward!) questions, and basic tools for effective allyship.

ASL interpretation will be provided at this event.
