About the Conference

Trying to figure out what the Oregon Queer Youth Conference is?  Lets see if we can help. 

What:
OQYC is a conference for us to get together with GLBTQ youth and allies from all over Oregon to talk about what we are doing, what we want to do, and how we can get there. This is about making our schools safer and our communities more accepting. This is about
youth supporting youth to make things better for everyone.

Who:

  • All youth under 23 who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and those who care about them.
  • We will focus on youth under 18/high school students, with some workshops relevant to older youth/college students.
  • We will make every effort to accommodate special needs for any youth who want to attend.
  • Adult allies are welcome to attend and give their support through volunteering, leading youth-empowering workshops, and learning to work better with youth.

When:
Saturday, March 15, 2008.  Registration begins at 9:00 am (Register on-line and sleep in!)

The conference goes from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
