This training is designed for community members seeking to create an LGBTQ-affirming environment for their synagogues, churches, community centers, or other community settings. It focuses on building shared vocabulary and awareness around LGBTQ identities and identifying ways in which they can build a community of equality and belonging for LGBTQ people.

In Riverdale Y’s ongoing efforts to explore ways to make the Y more inclusive and welcoming of all members of our community, we have partnered with Keshet, a Jewish organization which educates and advocates on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community (and leads trainings for people of all religious/ethnic backgrounds).
