GSA Queer Youth Summit - Sunday, October 10th

The summit included representatives from the GSA Network, local high school students involved in their GSA's, staff from the QRC and Claremont College students.  There were workshops and discussions which helped to nurture and support a relationship between the various levels of involvement in queer communities.
