Parker Genders and Sexualities Network

Parker Genders and Sexualities Network Our organization has two main objectives. We want to help anyone no matter what the question is. We want people to feel safe in their communities.

Objective one is peer support for students:
We are not counselors, we are just advocates for students who need help but do not know where to find it. We will be working with different organizations across the Denver-Metro area and Douglas County to find the best resources for students and help them navigate through it all. We do not want to just send you somewhere else to get help, we want to get

you in contact with the right resources to best help you and we will be there to help you along the way. We will help students find information for questions ranging from biological questions to how to use a condom, to those who question their s*xuality to how to come out to people. Disclaimer: our organization does not promote s*xual acts for teens but we will make sure that if they decide that is what they are going to do then we will help them do it smart, safe and responsibly. Objective two is community outreach:
We want to become active in the community by working with:

Schools-to help cut down on bullying and to help students and teachers make their schools safer environments. Businesses-we want to do safe zone training to provide employees the knowledge and resources to make sure their coworkers and customers will not feel discriminated against for any reason based on s*x, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, etc. Open public- We also want to work with the open community to expand the support for our students past the schools.

Our hearts go out to those directly and indirectly affected by the Tragedy that happened in Aurora today. It makes my heart fill with even more sadness that the same day this happens hate is still spread like a wildfire like this: http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/hate-group-leaders-use-colorado-massacre-to-attack-gay-people/news/2012/07/20/44108

Hours after today’s tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado, leaders of hate groups began to use the massacre, which left twelve dead, to demonize and attack gay people.

Hello again everyone i just wanted to give another update. I have now joined the Colorado Nonprofits Organization to help with some set up. My first task with them is to come up with an application process for volunteers. This is to make sure we can help each other as best as possible. I am also thinking about having a group meeting with volunteers to get your opinions on what we could do if you are interested in something like that please email me at [email protected] so we can start trying to organize that event. I know we have some people who are not exactly from the area but still support this cause so if you want to help but don't know how you can also email me and we will see how you can. MR

Hey just wanted to give an update since I have not posted in a while. I am currently learning how non-profits work though school and a couple other really helpful organizations. It has just been hard for me and the couple people helping me spear head this. If anyone would like to help please contact me. It does not have to be time or money. If you have or know anyone with knowledge or connection you think would be helpful I would apritiate any help i can get. My big picture plan is to get alot of set up done during the summer so even if we do not reach non-profit status we can atleast start making posotive change for those who really need it. Thank you for all your support, Matthew Rathbun

A mother on how the line between bully and victim isn't so clear after all and why helping your kid become a better human is still the world's most humbling task...
