From communication styles (lions and tigers and bears, oh my!) to dealing with distractions, True Colors Six-Week Activism training will give your GSA everything you need to make a difference - AND, we will come to you!

 

 

Interested?  It is easy to apply. All you gotta do is:

 

 

You can email your response, fax it to us at 860.232.0049 or mail it to us at True Colors GSA Program, 576 Farmington Ave, Hartford, CT  06105

 

 

 

See yourself doing stand-up comedy?  Or maybe hiking is your thing?  Or baking?  Self-defense maybe? How about everything from ballroom to hip-hop dancing?   Beginning this fall, True Colors will be offering all of these groups and more - and the groups will be free for LGBT youth both in our mentoring program and in the community at large. 

 

The first session is COMEDY WITH CHRISTINE. It runs for six Wednesdays in a row beginning Wednesday, September 8th from 4:00 - 6:00 PM at the True Colors office in Manchester.

 

Christine is an award winning comic, named one of the 50 funniest lesbians in America. Come learn the basics of stand-up comedy and create your own five minute 'set'.  We will even give you your first stage if you want at our Come Out Laughing Event at the end of October.  Either way, you are sure to come out laughing with Christine in the house.  Class size is limited to 8 students so register ASAP by email:  Comedy with Christine!

 

Next UP in October is Dancing with Adrienne! with dance instructor extraordinaire, Adrienne Cotter. From ballroom to hip-hop and salsa, you can bust a move and have a great time. We are still working on the location. If you are interested, email us and we get you the 411. Dancing with Adrienne

 

Also in October is SPOKEN WORD with Lauren Pellitier (beginning Wed, October 20th in Hartford); November offers Baking with Lea, Late Fall Hiking with the Yale LGBT Forestry group, a six week discussion group on female masculinity and dancing. And this is just the beginning!
