The YMCA Academy proudly presents our school’s first Queer-Straight Alliance student interest group. This group was inspired after Planned Parenthood’s T.E.A.C.H. program (Teens Educating and Confronting Homophobia) presented a workshop at our school last fall. The QSA meets every few weeks to discuss issues pertaining to gender and sexual identity and ways to ensure that our school community is a safe, inclusive place for everyone. This past week, staff and students worked on a mural inspired by artist and social justice activist Keith Haring. We had pizza, played tunes and enjoyed each other’s company. Stay tuned for more updates about the cool stuff we do in this club!
