Back to School Toolkit

As youth across the country head back to school, those with LGBTQ+ parents may face particular challenges with their teachers and peers. Our Youth Action Board has created several resources to help their peers navigate tough social and academic situations. On this page, you will find links to an email template for students to send their teachers created by the Youth Action Board, a link to Family Equality’s toolkit for parents, and a video featuring our Youth Action Board members explaining common situations COLAGErs find themselves in with several options of how handle such situations. You will also find infographics delving into similar challenging situations and corresponding solutions. Peer support is crucial for our ability to thrive in the world. We hope this resource is useful as you return to the classroom this year!
