An annual celebration of the continuing revolutionary role of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) leaders in business, arts, politics, religion and culture.

Every February, the New York City Department of Education organizes “Respect for All Week,” an initiative that promotes respect for diversity in NYC schools.

As part of “Respect for All Week,” Live Out Loud has developed special activities, actions, and discussion guides to help students promote respect for the LGBT community. These fun and engaging resources are perfect for any school club or program celebrating diversity!

Every year, Live Out Loud conducts dozens of hour-long programs for LGBT youth in classrooms throughout NYC. This academic year, Live Out Loud needs up to 50 LGBT adults to come with us and tell their story to groups of 20 – 25 youth.

On October 20, 2011, Live Out Loud is hosting a Role Model Social – a night of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres – to tell you how you can become a speaker for one of our school programs this fall.

Your story might be more life-changing for an LGBT youth than you realize! Come to the Role Model Social to learn more about how you can use your story to impact the lives of LGBT youth!

Date: October 20, 2011
Time: 6:30 – 8:00
Location: 111 Eighth Ave, NYC
