Imagine

What does it look like to support LGBTQ young people in rural and suburban communities? Ten Iliff students showed up for two weeks in July to find out. Join us on the evening of October 22nd to hear their stories and learn about how to support the next leg of their journey.

Influence

Remember the time when school Board meetings were boring? Unfortunately, this hasn’t been the case as ideological debates over gender and sexuality devolve into bathroom restrictions, sports bans for trans kids, and “don’t say gay” bills that evoke fear, anger, frustration, and sometimes violence. Learn how Ilff is leading in these issues.

Include

Religious organizations and leaders have the opportunity to engage and ensure LGBTQ+ inclusion, especially in small towns, is part of the Colorado fabric. Come and hear about Iliff’s work in rural and suburban Colorado, where Iliff students learned with local community stakeholders, including LGBTQ+ people, churches and religious communities, school board members, and local government officials.

Impact

Impact: Students came away from the transformative experience with new skills, insights, and inspiration to “show up” in the name of inclusive leadership. Can you “show-up” for them as well? 

Inspire

Support students as they share what they have learned with national advocates and public leaders at a convening set for Spring 2025. All donations received during the gathering and until Dec 31, will be matched 2:1 by the Carpenter Foundation. We need your help to make it happen!

Looking forward to you joining us!
