Gay Men's Health Leadership Academy Starts Friday!



September 21 through September 24 in Greenwich, NY.

The exciting Gay Men's Health Leadership Academy is designed to give participants access to cutting-edge thinking about the gay men's health movement in the US and abroad, and to connect community leaders into an international network of gay men's health organizers and activists.

Our leadership academy is a part of a growing gay men's health movement that has accomplished great things over the past ten years, including:

• the birth of new organizations that are shepherding innovative approaches to the broad range of issues faced by gay men's communities and subcultures.

• the organizing of a new generation of men and women to fight for gay health and build community nationwide.

• the creation of a new model of health promotion, focused on supporting gay men's commitment to one another.

• exciting new programs and campaigns to promote the assets of our strong gay communities.

This growing movement requires a new generation of leaders of all ages who are willing to go back to their home communities and lead the fight for innovative strategies, organizing, and programs. With the skills you develop at the Leadership Academy you can become part of a national movement to :

• create programs that build upon the strong strengths and assets of gay men.

• toss out shame and fear as central strategies for health promotion.

• celebrate the strategies that work!

The academy is open to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities who are seeking to make a difference in the future of gay men's health at the local and national level.

The Leadership Summit is a sponsored project of the White Crane Institute. For more information about the institute, click here.

The Gay Men's Health Leadership Academy goes on from September 21 through September 24. For more information, you can contact Scott at tspegues@comcast.net or 720-489-7170. The Gay Men's Health Leadership Academy is a sponsored project of the White Crane Institute.
