OTHER INITIATIVES
We like to think of allyship as a journey - one that is shaped by our diverse personal experiences and backgrounds. No matter where that journey begins, we all have the potential to be allies to people who are LGBTQ.
We are happy to bring PFLAG to your home community, whether it be marching in a local parade, presenting to a school, church, community, or business group about the importance of what we do, or being present in some other way. We have:
created a scholarship fund that awards a graduating Mt. Horeb High School senior who has shown a commitment to social justice $1000 whether or not they are college bound
hosted movie screenings.
distributed window clings to local businesses to signal that they are a safe, inclusive space for the LGBTQ+ community
provided gender neutral bathroom signs for local businesses.
co-sponsored a Black Lives Matter rally with Serve 2 Unite and local businesses.
offered free community-wide workshops on being an ally to the LGBTQ community.
co-sponsored reading of I Am Jazz at the public library
presented at a Mount Horeb High School conference entitled “Looking Past Labels:A Day of Peace” was
presented at the high school's Social Justice class
piloted teaching Welcoming Schools with a 3rd grade teacher
