Yes! 10 this year! Here’s a guide to help support you in supporting your group to make decisions about who attends from your group this year!

Having lunch in regional groups means youth can stick together with their GSA pals, AND make connections with queer and allied youth at different schools in your region! Sharing a meal is one of our favorite ways to bring people together, build solidarity, and forge new friendships. Enjoy a delicious lunch and discover what you have in common with youth in neighboring schools!

In racial caucus groups, queer and allied youth will explore identity and justice, and generate powerful, actionable priorities for statewide change. Racial caucus groups are a space to build community, strategy, and collective power in the name of deepening our commitments to anti-racism in schools and communities.

This year, the conference will be offered in person. We’ll continue to be in dialogue about how to create more and varied ways to access the conference in the future!

Yes, and yes! We will provide breakfast, lunch and we will have snacks on hand. Please share your food needs in the registration form.

Yes! There are bathrooms in the main gymnasium hall (main gathering space) and in each building for breakout spaces. As usual, bathrooms will be gender liberated for the day!

We invite you to wear clothing that feels safe, accessible, and gender liberating. We’ll mostly be inside, but our other recommendation is to bring a layer in case it’s cold.

Plan for a day at school! In addition to what we’ve shared about attire above, feel free to bring anything that helps you feel present and grounded during the day. which might include fidgets, noise-canceling headphones, a journal, or a notebook and something to write with.

We are not arranging transportation; however, we will connect participants for carpooling, as needed. If you need transportation support, email noa@outrightvt.org.

YES! Please let us know in your registration form if you have any other accessibility needs to support you throughout the day. We are building the core activities of the day to take place only in spaces that are wheelchair accessible. If you are willing, please share how we can best meet your needs in the registration form.

We will provide interpreters upon request and other accommodations include:

• Self-paced activities

• Written instructions

• Visual representation of discussions

• Ear plugs (you're invited to bring noise-canceling headphones)

• Quiet space

• Fidgets

And yes, service animals are welcome! 

We value your presence and want to ensure everyone feels included. Please let us know about other accommodations needed in the registration form.

We love pets, but no, sorry. People and service animals only!

We highly prefer that folks join us for the full day, however, if you are unable to do so, please let us know. We dissuade people from joining mid-day.
