Get ready for the Carolina Conference on Queer Youth!

Elissa Miller / 18 October 2024

We are only one month away from hosting the Carolina Conference on Queer Youth (CCQY) here at the Center! CCQY is an annual conference dedicated to advancing the well-being and rights of LGBTQ+ youth in educational and community spaces. We’re bringing together educators, counselors, administrators, social workers, advocates, and allies from diverse, youth-serving backgrounds to collaborate, educate, and advocate for positive change. Conference sessions discuss everything from creating inclusive classrooms to trans healthcare to queer spirituality! Register today HERE before tickets fully sell out! Learn more and see our speaker and presentation highlights below.

CCQY 2024 is presented by Time Out Youth, Carolina’s CARE Partnership, Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, Charlotte Trans Health, Gender Education Network, PFLAG Charlotte, and Welcoming Schools. Thank you for being our partners in this work!

CCQY 2024 is sponsored by Bank of America and ViiV Healthcare. Time Out Youth is deeply grateful for their continued investment in our mission.

Celebrate with flair at our event, thanks to Showtime Photo Booth – the go-to company in photo booth rentals since 2013. We are grateful for the opportunity to highlight CCQY in photos!
