Mentoring Toward Queer Joy and Possibility with Dakota Rottino-Garilli is a training to build and strengthen your role as a mentor to queer and Trans youth.

At Dreams of Hope, we weave mentorship into the culture of the organization and look to our community for models of leadership and care across generations! Mentorship does not always have to be a formal relationship, but can inform how we share wisdom and experience with others.

This training is for new and seasoned mentors alike! It supports our work to engage community members in collaborative, trusting, intergenerational partnerships that focus on the expression and development of LGBTQIA+ youth.

Please prepare to attend the entire training. Refreshments and a break will be provided.

(If you are looking to be mentored or learn about peer mentorship, save the date for our youth training on May 21st, 2026 :D)

Join Amari Onyx, Erica Hughes, and Bekezela Mguni for a morning of reflection. Together, we will explore the dominant narratives of schools and our power to counter them through communal storytelling. As we explore the roots of these narratives, we’ll center on our personal and shared stories, co-creating a vision of a truly liberatory educational experience.

This training held by the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh will provide educators with instructional strategies for teaching the Holocaust through literary selections.

In this program, educators will learn instructional strategies for teaching the Holocaust through literary selections from veteran educator Lynne Ravas. Shared approaches will help build historical understanding, create empathy, and provoke compassion with students. Educators are encouraged to bring your own books (BYOB) to pair these specific text(s) with their exploration of Echoes & Reflections resources.
