Leaders From Friends of Project 10 Talk About The Transformative Models of Pride Event
7:30 p.m.
Westwood United Methodist Church
10497 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, 90024
Remember being a teenager? Remember being afraid that you wouldn’t fit in? For young people coming to awareness of their LGBTQ identity, the normal anxieties of adolescence are magnified. At the Models of Pride Conference, LGBTQ youth can fit in, stand out, and look forward to a bright future. Whether you’re a parent, a young person, or a former kid, PFLAG LA’s August presentation is a must.
On November 1st, the campus of Occidental College becomes a rainbow festival, celebrating gay youth. Free to all young people from 14 to 23, the conference is filled with workshops, entertainment, a resource faire, food, networking opportunities, live music, and a dance party finale! All aspects of the event focus on the interests, needs, and tastes of LGBTQ youth, their families, and allies.
The only one of its kind, Models of Pride was created by Friends of Project 10 Inc. in 1993 as a means of providing a safe and positive environment where LGBTQ youths could be themselves, network with each other, and expose themselves to new ideas. Conference programs include a wide variety of workshops covering such topics as dating, coming out, stereotyping, student activism, cultural and religious issues, healthcare issues, and much more.
Formed to support the Los Angeles Unified School District program Project 10, Friends of Project 10 Inc. was created in 1986 as a nonprofit (501c3) to raise private funds for events such as the Models of Pride Conference, Models of Excellence Scholarship Program, and LGBT Youth Prom.
Lance Webster, Colette Perkins and Mel Schwartz from the Models of Pride Advisory Board will share with us ways in which all of us—whatever our age, sexual orientation, or gender identity—can support, promote, and enjoy the Models of Pride event.
