ENGAGE
Seacoast Outright is seeking new facilitators for their youth groups!
The organization is about to return to in-person meetings with their ongoing support groups for LGBTQ+ youth, and they are looking to add more adult volunteers to their roster of facilitators.
Facilitators help run meetings and act as role models for Seacoast Outright youth. No previous experience required; a two-part comprehensive training will be held via Zoom on Mon NOV 8 and Mon NOV 15 from 6:30 – 8:30pm.
Sign up for the training here or email Outright's new program director, Roula Giokas, with any questions at roula@seacoastoutright.org.

THANKS AGAIN to the Outboard community, especially all of you who stepped up to support Palana and Crystal last week. With your help, we raised another $100 for a total of (nearly) $360* to support their mayoral campaigns.
And THANK YOU, Palana and Crystal, for your inspiring and hard-fought campaigns. And for your continuing service & fiercely positive advocacy on behalf of your communities.
*$358 to be exact, but $360 has better resonance with the 603 theme :)
