TRUE
COLORS

True Colors, Inc.
Sexual Minority Youth and Family
Services of Connecticut, works
to assure that Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender and Intersexed
people are welcomed valued and
affirmed.
Towards that end,
we conduct workshops and professional
trainings to assure cultural
competency among educators, health
care professionals and others who
are responsible for our health
and well-being.
True Colors sponsors
the largest sexual minority youth
conference in the nation, held
each March. If you are interested, we are looking for
people to help organize the True Colors conference.
Conference
planning meetings are held the
3rd. Tuesday of each month from
6:00-8:00 P.M. in room 1849 of
the Student Center at Central
Connecticut State University. Participants
who attend at least 6 of
these meetings will
receive a Certificate of
Leadership.
In conjunction with
Project 100, True Colors runs a
mentoring program for sexual and
gender minority youth. We also are recruiting open
and affirming foster parents for youth of all sexual orientations
and gender identities.
