Allies training is offered for individuals, student groups, as well as staff and faculty who wish to go the extra step from just learning about sexual orientation and gender identities (SOGI) groups and learn how to actively be an ally both on and off campus. This training covers a refresh of topics introduced in the LGBTQIA+ 101 Training and provides participants with the tools to create individualized action plans. Accomplice Training is the next step of Allies Training, which builds upon the skills in Allies Training to go further into understanding one’s positionality in allyship and how to best serve the LGBTQIA+ community as an accomplice in the struggle for equity. Both Allies Training and Accomplice Training culminate with a certificate of completion. Run time: 2 hours; Minimum 6 people
