2021 National LGBT+ Youth Tech Summit (virtual summit)​
In honor of National Coming Out Day (Oct. 11th) we will launch our first annual National LGBT+ Youth Tech Summit. This 2 day Summit brings student leaders/LGBT+ Youth workers from different schools/nonprofits orgs together to combine resources for a more powerful impact on Computer Science Tech Inclusion, Tech Social Awareness and careers in tech. The summit is committed to provide a safe space for LGBT+ Youth to build their exposure to CS and enhance their advocacy leadership by using tech tools to lift the youth community.
​
The Summit provides a forum for youth to express their views on the impact of technology in their lives. Summit activities help to build alliances among LGBT+ Youth, tech professionals and LGBT+ Youth workers to help identify problems and formulate strategies for reducing mistreatment, and foster improved communication between youth and adults.
