About 200 students attended from eight different school districts throughout Nassau County. Pride for Youth Program Leaders conducted two workshops on homophobia, transphobia and HIV/AIDS. Long Island Crisis Center's Street Outreach Project also provided two workshops dealing with runaway and homeless youth.
But the pictures below tell the story better than any words can express. Thanks so much to the conference's fiscal sponsors: Hofstra University School of Education, Health and Social Service, NuHealth Foundation, the Stanley and Marion Bergman Family Charitable Fund and National Grid.
