Thanks to the generosity of the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, True Colors is delighted to offer a Queer Summer Academy. The program is free, runs Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 10PM  to 3 PM through August 10th and offers a wide range of activities. 

  • Mondays,  there is community gardening and community engagement (being out in the greater Hartford community)
  • Tuesdays offer an LGBT film series; a youth activity committee designed to grow your leadership skills
  • Wednesdays feature 'voices live!' training in community access television and the creation of an LGBT youth talk in the morning. The afternoon is spent with some of the most interesting and passionate LGBT activists, the people who helped make Connecticut one of the most inclusive states in the country!

 

Time is running out, though!

 

To join the program you need to start by next week (July 11th)
AND be willing to participate in all three days. 

 

To register:  Call Lea at 860.232.0050, ext 301 or email Alison

Lavender Menace, July 8th

Lavender Menace and More! So many activities, so little summer!

 
True Colors mentoring program is going to be all over the state this summer! 
  
The beach, art openings, camping, bowling, Riverfest, Game night, Jazz concerts and discussions, a Creative Expression Conference -- even a conference for and about Lesbians of Color in Florida. 
  
Some activities (like Lavender Menace -- a fundraiser for It Gets Better) are open to the public - but many are open only to those select few willing to give of their time and experience as mentors.  Summer is a GREAT time to get started as a group mentor! You get to hang with our kids, do fun things and check it all out before committing to a longer term one-on-one mentoring.
  
Want more information?  Check out the ourtruecolors website, call Lea at 860.232.0050, ext 301 or email her at Lea.
  
We are expecially looking for folks in Waterbury, Norwich, Ledyard, Bridegport and Hamden.  The next new mentor training is July 21st.   Will you be there for a kid in your neighborhood?
 
July 28 or August 11
