Youth leadership development: through leading workshops at smyal and in schools across the dmv, the youth empowerment & community engagement program provide trainings to youth leaders, teachers, and administrators that cover a wide range of topics from allyship to healthy relationships to gender and sexuality 101. Through these workshops, participants learn the strategies to create welcoming and inclusive environments for lgbtq youth. Workshops for youth provide them with the tools to become leaders within their peer groups. In addition to working in the community, smyal creates opportunities for young leaders through our annual activist camp as well as paid youth fellowships.
