Our Programs

InQueery

InQueery provides learning opportunities on special topics and skills for personal and professional development in safe, inclusive environments.

InQueery is as much about meeting other people as it is about learning, sharing or creating. It also has the side benefit of building stronger LGBTQ+ communities. Registration for these events is currently free unless additional supplies are needed.
