The Pride Prom

How to make your own pride prom
'Toronto's Pride Prom will be twelve years old in 2008. Every year SOY and Triangle Program team up with other groups and GSAs to make this wonderful event happen.  On numerous occasions  we have been asked for advice on how to run a pride prom.  We would like to share this information with anyone and everyone who is interested with the hopes that the model is useful for creating a queer and trans accessible prom.  All of the descriptions and templates are examples only, so feel free to adapt and change the model in whichever ways your own committee sees fit.

The Pride Prom is co-sponsored by The Triangle Program and Supporting Our Youth.

The Triangle Program:
The Triangle Program is Canada's only classroom for LGBT youth. The Triangle program works with a very diverse group of disenfranchised youth who are not able to (currently) work in a mainstream school setting. Currently in our sixth year of operation, the Triangle Program allows students to experience academic success and earn credits toward their high school diploma. More importantly the Triangle Program allows students to develop the life-skills, confidence, pride and finesse they need to be successful when they transition back to their larger lives, be that mainstream schools, other alternative schools, work and/or post-secondary education.

For more information and/or to volunteer for one of the Pride Prom organizing committees, please contact Clare at SOY: (416) 324-5077 or email soy@sherbourne.on.ca
