Preparing youth development professionals to practice inclusion for all genders and sexual orientations

This presentation provides an opportunity to learn about and discuss the newly released and PLWG-approved “Practices for Inclusion for Individuals of All Genders and Sexual Orientations” document. The Access, Equity, and Belonging Committee is comprised of champion groups that support evidence-based research and current trends facing our vulnerable populations.

One of these champion groups is focused on LGBTQ+ Youth and Community. This group contributed to the new inclusion document that is designed to be a template for states to adopt to help their 4-H program be more inclusive and welcoming to those with LGBTQ+ identities. The presenter will discuss how these practices can be used in youth organizations.
