Our two updated online courses are designed for school staff and other youth-serving professionals to create safer and more inclusive environments for all young people!
Building Solidarity with LGBTQ+ Youth: For adults who work with LGBTQ+ youth, like teachers and professionals in youth-facing organizations.
Queer Affirming Medical Homes: For medical care providers working with gender-diverse youth.
If you’re here, you’re on a journey that will open your heart and mind, giving you the knowledge to help LGBTQ+ youth in Vermont thrive!
With the right skills and support, youth-serving professionals can create affirming environments where LGBTQ+ youth can live, learn, and experience success and happiness.
LGBTQ+ youth co-developed our education and training offerings that are proven to help participants gain confidence in supporting LGBTQ+ youth and improving the school climate.

We partner with individual educators, school building teams (including social workers and counselors), and school district teams (DEI committees, board members, and administrators).
We also unite with youth-serving professionals, organizations, and state agencies to create safe and welcoming schools for everyone in the school district.
We've got online courses and in-person workshops for diverse learning preferences, fantastic Learning Partnerships, and multi-day training intensives for a deeper dive. Plus, we offer ongoing technical assistance and coaching for the ultimate advocacy experience!

Oh, and have we told you we’re fun to work with?!
Outright’s online courses are designed to be a resource for school staff and other youth-serving professionals to create safer and more inclusive environments for all young people.
Online courses are available FREE or at a low cost ($10) to ensure anyone can access the tools and education to support youth.
This course is a mixture of video, images, and written text. Each video includes closed captioning. Currently, we do not offer translations to other languages (but we are working on it)!
Thanks to our new platform, Outright’s online courses are now even more accessible and user friendly. Updated courses feature more concise and up-to-date information. They are self-paced, engaging, and interactive, and can be completed from anywhere. The current courses feature video content with closed captioning.
You will have access to this course for 30 days from the point of enrollment. After 30 days, your access to this course will end. But don't worry - you can bookmark and download resources along the way!

Learning Partnerships offer tailored long-term support to schools, districts, and youth-serving organizations committed to deep professional development.
We base our in-depth training on the needs and goals of the partnering organizations, schools, or districts. The aim is to fill gaps and strengthen team members’ skills and confidence. We use a variety of interactive modalities to support diverse learning styles.
Learning Partnerships generally span one to three years and involve multi-tiered learning opportunities that may include:
Organization-wide access to the online learning modules as a prerequisite for in-person learning.
Multiple half or full-day training sessions.
Learning needs assessments and evaluation support.
Fee Schedule in development.
We provide opportunities for youth-facing professionals in communities across the state to deepen their understanding and competency on issues that impact LGBTQ+ youth. We host 10-16 participants, and training is generally two full- or half-day sessions. They may be open to the public or invitation-only to create intentional communities of practice.
Costs vary by event.
