PFLAG Skagit is very proud of their Speakers Bureau.
Over the last seven years, their presenters have spoken to hundreds of people at community centers, local theaters, local churches, health care professionals, mental health care workers, organizations, law enforcement, judges and their staff, school classes and school employees, social service agencies and whoever is willing to listen.
If you are interested in the trainings mentioned below, reach out to us at info@pflagskagit.org, and we will be happy to accommodate your needs. There is not a fee for this service; however, we do ask for donations so that we can continue doing what we love to do-educate others about our amazing LGBTQ+ community.
