Just Us - Just Camp!
During the month of June, young people from our Becoming Us program for LGBTQ+ middle schoolers attended our Just Camp! summer program. The group went on a field trip to Cheekwood to explore the TROLLS exhibit, toured the North American Museum of African American Music, participated in a community-building workshop at the Nashville Children's Theatre, took a class in cake decorating, received gender-affirming haircuts from stylists with the Hideout Salon, and more!
In addition, Just Us coordinated the Youth Area at the Nashville Pride Festival. Five members of our Students of Stonewall program, along with Oasis staff and volunteers, helped facilitate activities at the youth tents, including the button-making, bracelet-making, manicure stations, and games.
During the month, our Just Us/Action & Advocacy Program Director also led several trainings on open and affirming services for those who work with LGBTQ+ populations.
