HOW THE WHITE HOUSE INITIATIVE ON AFRICAN AMERICAN LGBTQ YOUTH HOSTED A SUMMIT! (1945 hits)


The White House Initiative (Initiative) on Educational Excellence for African Americans hosted the inaugural White House Summit on African American lesbian, gay, bis*xual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) Youth in Washington, DC in partnership with the National Education Association (NEA) and the National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC). The Summit hosted nearly 200 participants, and provided a platform for African American LGBTQ students to make recommendations to adults, educators, and advocates to ensure all students feel safe, engaged and supported – in school and in life. The four-day Summit consisted of a series of webinars including educators and LGBTQ youth leaders, a youth pre-convening, the Summit, a White House reception, and a stakeholder breakfast.

“As I leave DC, I’m actively planning to roll out recommendations at Institute [Teach for America] from [the] #AfAmLGBTQ summit next week.” – Allecyn Gay, Founding Dean of KIPP Delta: Forrest City



As a supplement to the Summit, two Webisodes consisting of moderated panel discussions were recorded on June 9, 2016. Each panel discussion included two educators and a youth leader.(Webisode 1 AT https://www.youtube.com/watch?utm_content=... and Webisode 2 At https://youtu.be/FqTRAUc2xGA)
