Please Note: This is an event for LSA staff only.

The Spectrum Center’s LGBTQ Allyhood Development Training Program, started in 2005, seeks to support an individual or organization’s process of development as it relates to LGBTQ inclusivity and advocacy. Allyhood Development Training (ADT) uses a social justice framework to illustrate the lived experiences of LGBTQ identified people to workshop participants.

Topics include social identities, LGBTQ terminology, active bystander intervention strategies, and practice utilizing the day’s knowledge and skills in real-life scenarios.

Through active engagement in the training, participants will grow in their personal awareness, knowledge, skills, and actions as they relate to their engagement in doing ally work. The purpose of having the Allyhood Development Training is to promote a campus community in which everyone is treated with respect and dignity.

There will be a one-hour lunch break at 12 pm. You may either bring a lunch with you or leave to purchase one. Beverages (coffee, tea, water) and light snacks will be provided.

Please note: This session has a maximum capacity of 40 participants and requires a minimum of 15 participants to be run. If fewer than 15 people have registered the day before the session is scheduled, the session will be cancelled. We will send out notice of cancellation 24 hours in advance. We will let you know when another session on the same topic has been scheduled.

If you have any questions or if accommodations are needed to access the facility or the content of the presentation, please contact Latisha Cunningham (cunnlat@umich.edu) at least one week in advance of the session.
