SPECTRUM volunteers needed
The SPECTRUM is a safe haven for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or Questioning youth (LGBTQ) in the Reading area. Teens participate in recreational activities, socialize and receive educational information related to health, sexuality, life skills and leadership. They are given an opportunity to celebrate their lives and uniqueness in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
The SPECTRUM helps LGBTQ youth combat the problems of discrimination and increased risk for drugs, alcohol, failing in school and other difficulties by providing support, camaraderie and education in the company of their peers.
We are currently looking for guest speakers to visit with us during the 2009-2010 school year. A recent survey of the SPECTRUM youth revealed their interest in the following topics:
·Massage
·Pottery
·Salsa dancing
·Popular dancing (they’d like to learn some new moves)
·Yoga/tai chi
·Knitting/crocheting (they’d like to create a SPECTRUM blanket)
·Ghost stories
·Face Painting/Henna
·Jewelry making/hemp jewelry
·Sculpture
·Makeovers (regular or drag)
·Improvisation/theater games
·Tie Dye clothing
·Field trips to local places (within walking distance)
·Quick and healthy meals
·Anything else you want to share (a personal passion, a hobby, a cause) that is interesting, fun or
Thanks!
