However, many of us may still not understand what it means to live in a gender-expansive society. In this two hour zoom, designed for professionals, we will reframe traditional understandings of gender, build a deeper understanding of gender-diverse individuals, and offer everyday skills to navigate a gender-expansive world. Research emphasizes the importance of support to improve outcomes for gender diverse youth; we will use breakout rooms and activities to explore concrete strategies for becoming an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and supporting gender-diverse youth and their families. Please register in advance for this meeting. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. $25 per person Kerri Kreh Reda, kkr5@cornell.edu, 631-727-7850 x 337 Registration: http://weblink.donorperfect.com/UnpackingGender ========================================= Sea Explorers Marine Camp 2023 (Babylon) Monday, June 26, 2023 12:00 pm - 12:00 pm Sport Fishing Education Center and Aquaculture Facility, Ocean Parkway , Babylon, NY 11702 Immerse your child in a week-long, marine science based program at the Sport Fishing Education Center, Cedar Beach Babylon facility.
