On Saturday, February 4, 2012, Youth First Texas (YFT) will host a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) Summit from 10:00am until 3:00pm at the YFT Youth Center in Dallas. The summit will present opportunities to network with other GSAs, learn new skills that will help interested students in starting and sustaining GSA clubs in their schools and create safer spaces in their communities and will include a workshop provided by the Texas GSA Network. As part of the Summit, YFT will be building a North Texas GSA Hub Directory that will allow area GSAs to network and stay in the know with upcoming events, fundraisers and other opportunities among partner GSAs and the LGBTQ community. Breakfast and lunch will be provided to all participants.

“We’re supporting the creation and growth of safer schools with a safe space for LGBTQ youth and their allies,” said Giancarlo Mossi, a YFT youth who worked to plan the event, “Be sure to pass the event on to people who you know will or might be interested! Lets make all of North Texas a safe space for all, starting with the leaders of tomorrow – our youth.”
