    Note:  It's time to do some Spring cleaning!  We will be accepting gently used professional clothing at the April meeting, to benefit the SCCAP Work Ready program in Gettysburg.  So, go through those closets and consider passing along those slacks, dresses, or ties that you no longer wear...they will benefit local community members!

    This LGBT cultural & linguistic competency training is designed as an interactive training.

    Learning goals are as follows:

    • Review definitions, language and symbols important to the LGBT community
    • Understanding current legal context for LGBT Americans/LGBT Pennsylvanians
    • Discussion of usage of pronouns and language with regard to same-sex couples, LGBT families and Transgender individuals
    • Understanding privilege and minority stress
    • Discussion of best practices for diversity and inclusion

    The Training Institute at Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center frequently provides training, policy development and equality audits for government agencies (including law enforcement), school districts, non-profit organizations, and businesses.

    The Training Institute is directed by Liz Bradbury, who has been a full-time advocate for the LGBT community since 1994 and an organizer since 1979.  In 2004, she co-founded PA Diversity Network, where she served as Executive Director for ten years.  She helped lead successful efforts to pass model LGBT-inclusive non-discrimination and domestic partner legislation in nine PA municipalities and served for 15 years on the Human Relations Commission for the City of Allentown (including three years as chair), where she wrote the guidelines for discrimination investigations and trained investigators.  She has facilitated trainings and developed LGBT policy for dozens of organizations across Eastern Pennsylvania.  Contact Liz at liz@bradburysullivancenter.org for more information or to request training, policy development, or an equality audit for your organization.
