This program is designed with queer Latines and QTPOC at the center. Non-Latine participants are welcome as long as they enter the space with care, humility, and respect. This is not a neutral language classroom, but a community-centered space.
We ask all participants to be mindful of how much space they take up and to engage in a way that supports, rather than recenters away from, the community this program was created for.
