In celebration of LGBTQ Pride Month, HMI and City in the Community - the charity proudly supported by NYCFC - will partner to provide local teens a safe, inclusive space to openly discuss LGBTQ-specific topics through a pioneer series of HMI-led inclusivity workshops.
With the longest history in the nation in creating and sustaining practices that build competencies on integrating an LGBTQ inclusive frame into pedagogical approaches, HMI will provide the young men and women in these workshops with resources, specific guidance and practice strategies to integrate into their daily practice.
The teens are all part of CITC’s Saturday Night Lights program, a violence prevention and youth-development program, funded by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, offering soccer during times when crime levels are at the highest.
