A Call for Youth Facilitators

Are you interested in facilitating workshops to your peers and getting paid for it? Our OUTLoud Project is looking for youth facilitators to support their LGBTQ (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning) peer to peer presentation.

YSPP facilitates workshops in King County to youth (by youth) in schools and community organizations about the issues facing LGBTQ youth in order to increase support and decrease their risk.

Don’t worry if you don’t have experience facilitating - we’ll train you.

All we need from you:

  • Must be between 15-24 years old
  • Be an ally to LGBTQ youth (you have at least basic information about what LGBTQ youth go through and believe in increasing support for them in our schools and communities) or LGBTQ identified
  • Willingness to travel around King County to facilitate trainings when you are able
  • A can do attitude!

If you’re interested please contact:

Heather Carter, OUTLoud Project Manager
