Thank you for your interest in our Foundations of Gender & Sexuality (LGBTQ+ Allyship 101) Training at Cal Poly.

This 2.5-hour quarterly training workshop is to increase the awareness of student, faculty, staff, and community members on topics and issues with regards to sexual and gender minorities at Cal Poly and in San Luis Obispo County.  Through this training, people can become better equipped to support individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions within our current socio/historical/political contexts.  Participants have the opportunity to examine their own socialization and beliefs, raise awareness of others in our community,  begin the process of critiquing paradigms and systems that are harmful to LGBTQ+ people, and pledge a commitment to enhancing allyship practices for access, equity, and inclusion of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression through an intersectional lens.

Filling out the form below for a specific workshop confirms your RSVP! A staff member will contact you if any details change. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Lead Coordinator for Campus LGBTQ+ Initiatives at sabyrd@calpoly.edu.

If you are requesting a private Foundations training for members of your organization outside our regular offerings, please note that we require at least 10 participants.  The form will help us assess your needs so we can provide your organization with the appropriate training and see if we have staff available.  Filling out this form does not guarantee that we will be able to offer private training for your organization, as we have limited staffing and resources.  The area that we can give training is usually within the San Luis Obispo area with priority to Cal Poly's campus and departments.  We do try to reach outside of this to our community partners, but know that it will be more difficult for us.
