#RisingYouth grantee Julien used
his grant to start an LGBTQ2+
space and committee in Cégep
André Laurendeau, the second
most multicultural college in
Quebec. With the funding, he
has been able to organize a
number of activities including
a poster campaign against
homophobia and transphobia,
a speaker series on non-binary
and transgender experiences,
and various training courses
on LGBTQ2+ issues designed
for both staff and students.
In addition to this, Julien has even
created a physical and online
space for LGBTQ2+ students.
He has used the #RisingYouth
grant to purchase furniture for
the physical space, as well as
create a website that acts as
an online resource for support,
questions, and other training.
" The biggest success to
date for me is to see the
number of young people
who get involved and come
to visit us and the support
of the teachers we meet."
