Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity / Centre canadien de la diversité des genres et de la sexualité

Published purpose

Through this 27-month project, the Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity will improve capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality. The project will address gaps in 2SLGBTQ+ youth leaders' access to convening space and knowledge and skills development mentorship and empowerment opportunities, to inform policy related to adequate trans affirming health care, comprehensive sexuality education, and public safety. The project will focus on strategic, operational, and financial planning; strengthening organizational capacity through hiring specialist positions and consultants; fostering networking and collaboration between organizations serving 2SLGBTQ+ youth; and raising awareness of 2SLBTQ+ youth issues through needs assessment made accessible to other organizations in and outside of the 2SLGBTQ+ sector.
