HOMOsexual education in Montreal schools

It all starts at home.

Gris-Montreal is actively seeking intervention workers for their Demystifying Homosexuality program in schools across Quebec. I have it on official tip that they would love to have more English-speaking, anglophones, people as interventionists/educators. Interested participants are invited to come partake in the mandatory training session for more info. The weekend-long training will ensure the educators are properly informed about how to do the Gris workshops in elementary and high schools in the city. The organizers have also told me that female interventionists are also very welcome. It’s an unpaid, feel-good kind of thing.

Contact Gris-Montreal on Twitter, Facebook and their website. The next info session is tomorrow, Tuesday, at 7 pm.
