Workshops and Resources

The Valley Youth Project’s volunteers can present workshops to your classroom, staff meeting, conference, or other event.  The topic can range from an introduction to gender identity and sexual orientation, to a customized strategy session for the topics most important to you.  All workshops are participatory, while also respecting the safety and consent of all participants.

Our usual fees are as follows; however, we may be able to accommodate a sliding scale, particularly for non-profit organizations.  For more information, please contact us.

The workshop handouts, handbooks, and resources guides that we use are available free for download, printing and distribution, providing that credit is clearly given to the Valley Youth Project (including contact information), that they are not used for profit, and that the same permission to distribute is granted to the recipients.
