About the Brave Summit
Teach For America’s National Prism Alliances work to ensure that alumni and corps members play a significant role in advancing educational equity to LGBTQ+ low-income students. We cultivate and support regional Prism coalitions by leveraging relationships with national partner organizations and through guidance from our National Prism Advisory Board. With sustainable Prism coalitions in half of TFA’s regions, we ensure equity and explicitly affirm that LGBTQ+ students and their educators are a critical part of our child-centric ecosystem. Since 2014, we’ve hosted conversations on the state of education in LGBTQ+ America. Corps members, alumni, activists, and community members across different regions have come together to discuss the importance of educational equity to the LGBTQ+ community. Our annual LGBTQ+ Summits continue the conversation across the country each year. In partnership with regional and national partner organizations, Brave Education Summits engage future educators, corps members, and alumni on learning and development, as well as resources that support LGBTQ+ students and educators. Members of the summit share recommendations and best and promising practices that support teacher preparation, student support, school culture, policy, and more. The summit, which is held during LGBT History Month and which launches on the eve of National Coming Out Day and Indigenous People’s Day, will have themes for each day of programming: October 9th: Identity and Intersectionality October 10th: Supporting LGBTQIA2s+ students October 23rd: Policy and Advocacy October 24th: Regional Prism Coalitions and the Path Forward
