After several years of soliciting collaborative projects, we are pleased to have funded two workshops that represent the collaboration model which we are focused on growing. They are The History of Sexuality and Gender Writing Workshop and Addressing the Challenges of LGBTQ Youth: Needs, Issues, Resiliency.

We welcome further ideas of collaboration and look forward to funding them.




Allen was contacted by Gill Frank, a 2006 Phil Zwickler Cornell fellowship winner, to conduct a workshop with fellow scholars who are all teaching and preparing books on human sexuality. The PZ Foundation funded the 2 day workshop and Allen had a memorable lunch with the group.

On July 26, 2012, Perspectives Unlimited, the Stonewall National Museum and Archives and Safe Schools South Florida presented the program 'Addressing The Challenges of LGBTQ Youth: Needs, Issues, Resiliency.' The program was held at ArtServe in Fort Lauderdale.

    How we came to this project is that Stonewall was a grant recipient in 2004 (click on the image to the left to read the full article, as well as an article about a collaboration between Stonewall and Cornell University), and Safe Schools South Florida President, Peter Gordon, is an old acquaintance of Allen Zwickler.
 
    In December 2012, Allen visited with Co-founder and Executive Director of Safe Schools South Florida, Robert Loupo, to follow up on the July 26 meeting.
