@ Mohican Outdoor Center in Blairstown, NJ (~1.5 hours drive from Manhattan)

We are inviting Q-Wave’s leaders, volunteers, and interested Q-Wavers with no prior experience to come together this July around two goals:

  1. provide a community bonding experience so that our leaders & volunteers can build a common vision of Q-Wave’s future work, and;
  2. enhance the knowledge and concrete leadership skills for Q-Wavers to be effective activists in the API and LGBTQ communities.

The retreat will include workshops, discussions, and some hiking, exercising, and BBQ as part of the bonding activities. Volunteers will take the lead to prepare meals on each day, and all will help with cleanups; two current Q-Wave leaders will direct the scheduled events. Don Kao, a long time QAPI activist and the executive directorat Project Reach, will facilitate and provide training for certain workshops.

Please see the attached PDF for complete information & schedule!
