Minnesota People of Color LGBTQ Pride Offers Early Intervention Services Outreach Program

Twin Cities-based nonprofit Minnesota People of Color LGBTQ Pride (MN POC Pride) is offering an Early Intervention Services (EIS) Outreach Program. The vision of MN POC Pride is to create a consciousness among LGBTQ+ communities of color, homeless youth, and supporting allies by “offering everyone a ‘S.L.I.C.E.’ of Pride,” an acronym that reflects the organization’s foundational principles of:

  • SOCIABILITY – Sharing experiences, embracing individual cultures, mentoring our youth and strengthening our community bonds.  
  • LITERATURE – Acknowledging the literary works and accomplishments by LGBTQIA+ and non-LGBTQIA+ people of color. Promoting cultural history and ethnic diversity.   
  • INCLUSION – Including all. Building with all. Creating a cohesive and progressive environment.  
  • CHARITY – Supporting efforts to make programs more visible and accessible.  
  • EDUCATION – Empowering and respectfully pushing those who are not aware of their strengths and potential. Establishing a dialogue with our LGBTQIA+ community and the communities at large.

The objectives of MN POC Pride’s EIS Outreach Program are to: open doors and carve pathways for people of color; bridge the gap between groups of color and mainstream LGBTQIA+ associations; address health disparities that impact LGBTQIA+ people of color; and engage allies, mainstream LGBTQIA+ agencies, and communities of color in supportive projects and partnerships.
