As we head back to school, it's crucial to remember that support for LGBTQ+ youth goes beyond the classroom. Engaging students in after-school activities, clubs, and fostering community support can significantly enhance their sense of belonging and affirmation throughout the school year.
To help you create this inclusive environment, we're excited to share our latest TrevorTalks episode,"How to Signal You Are An Ally in a Hostile Environment," ([link removed]) where we discuss ways to indicate your allyship to LGBTQ+ young people. This video offers valuable insights and practical tips on demonstrating your support effectively.

** Support Beyond the Classroom
------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some key takeaways from the video, along with additional ways you can help make after-school environments more inclusive and supportive:
* Introduce Yourself with Pronouns: Introducing yourself with your pronouns and encouraging others to do the same can create a more inclusive and respectful environment.
* Zero Tolerance for Bullying: Implementing a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, with clear consequences and accountability, helps ensure a safe space for all students.
* Decorate Spaces with Allyship Signals: If possible, decorate spaces with items that signal allyship, such as pronoun buttons, flags, or posters. These small gestures can make a big difference.
By incorporating these practices, we can create after-school environments that truly support and affirm LGBTQ+ young people.
