Stonewall Activism Saturday School (SASS)

For many years, Speakers Bureau hosted an annual 3-day Stonewall Activism Summer School for LGBTQ+ youth. Now, SASS is a daylong workshop that happens on several Saturdays throughout the year to keep youth activists learning, thinking, communicating, organizing and networking all year long.

Each SASS event is centered on a different theme affecting our communities.  For example,  in 2015, we worked with CHOICE High School and two other organizations in Shelton to provide a SASS event focused on harm reduction, LGBTQ+ youth legal rights, and self-care. SASS not only fosters learning and the exchange of ideas for youth, but also encourages networking and collaboration between local organizations.

Stay tuned for info about upcoming SASS events!
