LGBTQ+ Advocate Power-Up Series
The LGBTQ+ Advocate Power-Up Series educates members of the St. Cloud State community and builds a network of supportive advocates for the LGBTQ+ community.
Workshops will help participants to:
- Grow their knowledge of LGBTQ+ identities, issues, and experiences
- Better understand systems of power and inequity in relation to gender and sexuality
- Gain skills and strategies for building more supportive, inclusive, and socially just environments
In the 2023-2024 school year, there will be two levels of workshops offered. Level 1 requires no prior knowledge of LGBTQ+ identities. Level 2 assumes familiarity with LGBTQ+ terminology and issues.
Workshop sessions are capped at 25 participants. RSVP on HuskiesConnect to register.

Affinity Spaces
Affinity spaces are places to gather around a common identity and to talk about experiences with like-minded individuals.
Each affinity space has a specific identity. Only people with that identity should be in that space.
We are looking for people to host affinity spaces in the 2023-2024 school year! Email lgbt@stcloudstate.edu for more info or to propose an affinity space.
Past affinity spaces have included:
- Queer and Trans People of Color
- Trans, Nonbinary, and Gender Non-Conforming
