Halifax Youth Project’s workshop series begins

The Youth Project, a Halifax-based resource and social centre for queer youth, is putting on a series of workshops during the month of March.

The first of the three workshops is Tuesday, March 6, called How to Become an Ally, with discussions on how to support queer people, how to identify oneself as an ally and more. The workshop takes place from 9am until noon at the Canada Games Centre, 26 Thomas Raddal Dr. The other two workshops will take place on March 23 (Working with Transgender Youth) and March 27 (Dealing with Homophobic/Transphobic Bullying). For more information, check out the application form here.
