The grant makes it possible for Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center to provide\u00a0training on LGBT issues for educators in Upper Bucks County.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">&#8220;In order for the LGBT community throughout the Greater Lehigh Valley to thrive, the experiences we have in the world around us need to be grounded in respect and dignity. LGBT youth frequently encounter negative experiences in schools and other youth-serving organizations and with this grant, we will get to work training educators in Upper Bucks County to provide high-quality, culturally appropriate services for LGBT youth. We are grateful for the generous support from Edwin J. &amp; Gertrude K. Neusch Fund for making this possible &#8221; said Adrian Shanker, Executive Director.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">Liz Bradbury, Director of The Training Institute, added, &#8220;We are proud to bring our expertise in supporting LGBT youth to educators in Upper Bucks County. It&#8217;s been our experience that most educators, schools, and youth-serving organizations want to support LGBT youth but some don&#8217;t have the appropriate language, cultural context, or resources to provide the support that is needed.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><b>About Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center:\u00a0<\/b>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bradburysullivancenter.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/www.bradburysullivancenter.org\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519942297863000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG8XVITlAdRXulS7MKJnR37Z_slHA\">www.bradburysullivanc<wbr \/>enter.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center provides arts, health, and youth programs to strengthen and support the LGBT community across the Greater Lehigh Valley.
