2021 Love & Learn: A Community Night
Friday, June 11th, 2021 - 5PM to 8PM
Location: Haddon Square and local businesses in the area.
HTEI celebrates PRIDE with Love & Learn: A Community Night. We build community by making connections. Together with our community partners, we have created a space where folks can meet, connect, learn and share resources. Our aim is to provide resources that support PRIDE through the ages. From our workshop on inclusive and affirming communication around the “Birds and the Bees” to Aging with Pride, community partners will be sharing information to support our LGBTQ+ community and their families and friends.
And as we know….
INFORMATION IS POWER.
PRIDE IS POWER.
Stop by and say hello to our friends at Haddon Square from 5PM - 8PM, with resources and representatives from Attic Youth Center, Camden County Women’s Shelter, CHOP Gender Clinic, Cooper Center for LGBTQ+ Heath, Garden State Equality, GLSEN (formerly Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network), Ida’s Book Shop, Jefferson LGBTQIA+ Health Program, Kaleidoscope, Lez Run Running Club, and William Way LGBT Community Center.
