History

Rainbow Allyship first began in 2022, though both team members (Sydney and Chris) have been facilitating educational programming for over a decade. The inspiration behind Rainbow Allyship arose after both Sydney and Chris saw a desire from local community organizations to learn more about the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. This need has only further expanded within the last year, due to levels of rising hate and a simultaneous desire from folks in the community to want to combat harmful misinformation.

The design of Rainbow Allyship’s programs is highly interactive, encouraging participants to ask questions, engage in discussion, and reflect on ways that we can each better support members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. As community activists themselves, both Sydney and Chris draw from their years of lived and professional experience to facilitate engaging, meaningful, and impactful programs.
