Hey Everyone!
Thank you for taking the time to check out my page! As some of you know, I've been involved in supporting LGBT work in Simcoe County since 2011. Here's a quick look at how I've contributed to the community:
- Achieved Presidency of Pride @ Georgian, a student run social group at Georgian College
- Successfully in lobbied and created a new co-op position at Georgian College to deliver presentations on LGBT topics and issues
- Founded the Ally Campaign, delivering over 80 presentations to over 1,700 people in Not-for-Profits, High Schools, Colleges, Universities, banks, local businesses, and more
- Joined the ACSC and was hired to Facilitated LGBT Youth groups across the county as their Youth Programs Coordinator
And now in April 2015, I've been offered a new role within the agency, as their Capacity Developer. I'll be working ACSC to build capacity in organizations across Simcoe/Muskoka, to increase access to services to LGBTQ individuals in the region.
For me, doing LGBT work is not just about a career decision, it's about building a stronger and better community, for everyone. While it may seem like I've done a lot, I don't do the work alone. I've had support of friends, family, colleagues, and the community. Thank you for supporting me in everything that I do.
Now, we need your help again. Please take the time to consider donating to my personal fundraising efforts, in an attempt to better improve services for LGBT youth in Simcoe County. For more information about where the money is going, please visit acsc.ca/page/youth-groups. Every donation is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and support,
