On October 15, 2022; United Way of Delaware along with partners; like CAMP Rehoboth, and more are coming together to host the 10th Annual Anti-Bullying/GSA Summit. This event is scheduled to be held in Georgetown, DE from 11am-3:30pm with a goal of serving at least 100 students. The student-led planning committee is hard at work planning all aspects of the event with the support of adult mentors.
Much like the purpose of national organizations such as GLSEN, the PRIDE Council GSA Committee serves to provide LBGTQ students and their allies a community, brave space and the opportunity for change, so too does Delaware’s first Black Student Summit seek to empower our next generation of leaders. This event is designed to wrap training and education around students who are or seek to become members of their school’s GSA/ or GSA similar club. It’s also designed to create a new network for students connect and plug into resources and appropriate adult support. The theme student selected theme for this year is SAY IT LOUD, SAY IT PROUD. The summit is meant to refuel, train, and uplift students and the adults that support them. We will offer training and education during the Summit to help students understand why it’s important to use their voice and how it do it appropriately.
