As part of JQ International's ongoing outreach and availability to the community, we have made our LGBTQ+ Inclusion 101 and LGBTQ+ Allyship in Action trainings available to everyone, via Zoom. It's the same rich, in-depth, up-to-the-minute content, but in a digital format that allows us to be more available to more people. It also lets us keep the cost down, so we truly can serve the entire community.
Navigating issues of gender, sexuality, and identity can feel nebulus. JQ’s online training is a casual and inviting opportunity to engage with experienced professionals who will help you navigate the LGBTQ+ community. We will meet you where you are, and provide time to answer your questions for an accessible learning experience. Similar to our in-person trainings, we will cover topics/offering resources and materials about gender, sexuality, inclusion, allyship, and equality. The sections are offered as a two-part series, with the first section focusing on the basics of LGBTQ+ Inclusion and the second section as a deep dive into LGBTQ+ Allyship In Action.
Please see list of dates below. Sign up dates will be added to this form once the current registration date options have passed.

Our workshops are an important first step to empower yourself to become an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. It is the Jewish value of Hachnasat Orchim, welcoming the stranger into your life. If you are ready to take the first step or brush up on your LGBTQ+ literacy, this training is for you and will help provide the guidance you need to bring new people into your local institutions, neighborhoods, or even your families.
Our quarterly trainings will be open on a first come first serve basis, and capped at 12 participants to provide a rich and dynamic learning environment. We are excited to get to know you and be on this learning path together.
