REGISTER NOW
This set of workshops is designed to help trusted adults (parents, guardians, coaches, teachers, social workers, and others) who live with, work with, and/or mentor LGBTQ+ youth help create more affirming environments and relationships for the youth they care about. We ask that all attendees commit to attending all three workshops, on June 1 (Virual), June 8 (Virtual), and June 15 (both Virtual or In-Person), all from 6 pm to 8 pm MST. Workshops will be facilitated by a licensed mental health professional, a peer co-facilitator, and a member of Envision:You's staff. These workshops are completely free to attend, and will be a judgment-free zone, so if you're not yet sure how you feel about the LGBTQ+ community or your child's identities, this is a space for you!
Attendees can expect to learn about the LGBTQ+ community, the challenges that LGBTQ+ youth are facing today, affirming language and relationship-building skills, resources available for you and LGBTQ+ youth, and helping with processing complicated feelings you may be having about the LGBTQ+ youth in your life. The workshops will be interactive, so come prepared to have conversations, ask questions, and build community with other folks in the region who are all trying to create more accepting and affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ youth.
Register here.
Greeley Pride
July 29, 2023. Noon-6pm. Aims Community College. Save the date!
Come celebrate the local LGBTQ+ community with a wide array of entertainment and resources brought to you by local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and community members.
In a time where there is so much hatred and discourse directed toward the LGBTQ+ community it is more important than ever to remember that we are Stronger Together.
Join us in memorializing the people we have lost and continue to lose every day on our journey to being allowed to exist by participating in our community art piece. Create memories at the photo booth, get your Glam On with face painting and rhinestones, find something beautifully affirming at the clothing swap, take advantage of free STI testing and monkey pox vaccines, be mesmerized by our local Greeley talent, and so much more!

OUR VISION
PFLAG envisions a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed inclusive of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
WHAT IS PFLAG?
Founded in 1973 after the simple act of a mother publicly supporting her gay son in New York's first Pride Parade, PFLAG is the first and largest organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people, their parents and families, and allies. Originally called "Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbian and Gays", today, this non-profit organization is known simply as PFLAG. With over 400 chapters and 200,000 members and supporters crossing multiple generations of families in major urban centers, small cities, and rural areas across America, PFLAG is committeed to creating a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed. This vast grassroots network is cultivated, resourced, and serviced by the staff of PFLAG National, the National Board of Directors, and the all-volunteer Regional Directors Council.
