Don’t Hate, Participate: Feeding the 411 on Anti-phobia

Team Potluck is proud to present its zine and toolkit. Created by youth for youth, this valuable kit raises awareness about LGBTTIQQ2S (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, intersex, queer, questioning, and two-spirited) concerns and provides education around the prevention of hate, phobia and violence. 

The zine includes stories, myths and facts, tips, interviews, info on being an ally, definitions, drawings, comics, and a resource guide.

Over a 5 month period, Team Potluck, a group of 10 diverse youth in the Experience This! program participated in the project Don’t Just Sit There, Stand Up Together.  The team executed research and compiled material for the zine resource, implemented some public awareness activities, and designed a creative poster.  The toolkit (including the zine, poster, magnets, and stickers) is available for public education and will be distributed to youth-serving agencies/organizations--especially to sites with limited access to LGBTTIQQ2S education and resources.

(requires quicktime)

A March Break program for youth 13-16 years old. This program fosters community involvement, skills development and teamwork and is currently offered in Flemingdon Park/Thorncliffe Park.

We are looking for a few agency partners for weekly community projects for a team of 10 youth (17 to 24 years old) to meet community needs and to build youth civic engagement and skills development. Does your organization/agency have a project that can run once a week from end of January to May 2010? We are mainly looking for projects for Monday or Wednesday afternoons (or possibly a one-time service project on a Friday morning).
