REMINDER: Camp Courage Coming to Fresno, CA

REMINDER: Don't forget to apply for Camp Courage, this time held in Fresno, CA. There's not much time left before March 7th! You don't want to miss out!

Read UTF's review of Camp Courage in Los Angeles and find out why I think you should go.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Camp Courage Fresno has been confirmed by the Courage Campaign. Having attended the Los Angeles session, I found it to be extremely informative, educational and proactive, and keeping to its "Respect-Empower-Include" mission. I highly recommend attendance if you can make it. (More Camp Courage sessions are in the works in other parts of the state).

Camp Courage is designed primarily for new activists or those who have never engaged with the broader community about marriage equality as well as veteran LGBT activists and allies.
