Environmental Education Collaborative

 

In continuing our efforts to make natural spaces more inclusive for all, the EEC invites you to spend a day in the great OUTdoors! Families are invited to join us in celebrating queer youth in our community with crafts, stories, hiking and waterplay (weather permitting). According to the Trevor Project’s 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health, 45% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. However one key finding does provide hope- LGBTQ youth who live in a community that is accepting of LGBTQ people reported significantly lower rates of attempting suicide than those who do not. Spend a day with us in nature as we heal and shower love on our queer youth!
