Everything we do at Chill revolves around providing intentional experiences that lead to learning and growth. A critical factor in supporting this growth is the assurance of safe and inclusive space. The norms we have created and committed to within our programs and operations enhance the experience provided for our LGBTQIA youth and allies and strengthen our mission delivery as a whole. In addition to our six core values, our program philosophy, and our challenge by choice culture, these practices set our LGBTQIA youth up for success and celebrates their unique expression and individuality.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Gender Equity <\/strong>\u2013 We strive for gender equity across all programs and ask agencies to intentionally recruit youth from gender minorities to fill half of their agency spots, using our Gender Recruitment Tips<\/a> as a resource and guide.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Pronouns <\/strong>\u2013 Pronouns are linguistic tools that we use to refer to people. (i.e. they\/them\/theirs, she\/her\/hers, and he\/him\/his). We believe that it is important to give people the opportunity to state the pronoun that is correct to use when referring to them. We share pronouns on name tags and in intros at the beginning of program.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Non-gendered group names <\/strong>\u2013 Gender-neutral terms that are used to refer to people without specifying their gender. Addressing a group in a way that makes everyone feel included.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chosen names<\/strong> \u2013 Recognizing that individuals may use a name other than their legal, given name. A chosen name may be an important part of someone\u2019s identity, and we respect and use that name for each individual.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Accommodations <\/strong>\u2013 Changes that remove barriers and provide individuals with enhanced, equitable access to learning. Accommodations help people work around their challenges and change \u201chow\u201d they are learning something, not \u201cwhat\u201d they are learning.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Forgoing Assumptions<\/strong> \u2013 Assumptions are unexamined internal beliefs we hold about people, identities, situations or intentions. They are often based on things we accept as true, that haven\u2019t been thought about critically. When we for-go assumptions, we allow opportunity for connection and learning from each other, we can access new and different perspectives, we can be more creative, we can have healthy conflict, and we can increase our confidence.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Allyship<\/strong> \u2013 To enter into and build an alliance. A willingness to act with and for others in pursuit of ending oppression and creating equity. An ally takes action to create institutional change, they challenge their own discomfort and prejudices, and they educate themselves about different identities and experiences.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Safe Space<\/strong> \u2013 A place or environment in which a person or category of people can feel confident that they will not be exposed to discrimination, criticism, harassment, or any other emotional or physical harm.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Opportunities to Self-Identify<\/strong> \u2013 On our paperwork we ask for Identifying Gender (select all that apply), and provide 5 different options: Female, Male, Non-Binary, Transgender, and Additional Gender Category (write-in).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sharing Our Impact <\/strong>\u2013 We report percentage of youth who identify as LGBTQ+ (yes\/no\/unsure\/questioning) to share with donors, agencies, volunteers, and supporters.<\/p>\n

Pride was started by trans and gender non-conforming folks of color. Chill stands in allyship and solidarity with the black and LGBTQ+ youth, families, and communities we serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
