IPGLBT Pride Guide
IPGLBT created the Pride Guide which provide agencies and employees with important information about the LGBTQ+ community, helpful organizations and resources to connect with, and programming examples to help facilitate a more inclusive community and help build a strong base of allies.
​
Last year, the group has published second edition of the guide. Besides updates like new terminology, additional issues facing the community, and more resources, they have also included two new sections that spotlight some LGBTQ+-inclusive work our agencies have created, and select programming IPGLBT has produced from the last decade.”
