GLOW - The Queer and Questioning Community Centre

Hello again! Please join us next Thursday, June 3rd in St. Jerome’s Room 2009 from 4-6pm for Peer Support Training, the second of 2 mandatory training sessions for GLOW volunteers. This training provides participants with some useful techniques in providing peer support to others. Even if you’re not planning on holding office hours with GLOW you may find this session beneficial!

Join us this Thursday, May 27th, in St. Jerome’s Room 2009 from 4-6pm for a special Ally Training session! Ally training serves as an introduction to queer issues and terminology. Everyone is welcome to attend, and this is a required training session for those wanting to volunteer with GLOW. Hope to see you there!

GLOW and Counselling Services have secured a time to offer Peer Support Training, so if you’re looking to expand your volunteer opportunities with GLOW, this is where to start!

When: Friday, February 26, 2:00PM-4:00PM.
Location: SLC 2134 (tentatively)

If anyone is interested in completing this training (it is necessary if you want to hold Office Hours with GLOW), please RSVP to the GLOW email glow {at} glow.feds(.)ca, so we can get an estimate of numbers.

Thanks in advance and hope to hear from several of you!

Hey everyone!

Want to help foster a supportive, diverse, and accepting campus
community? Interested in helping to support other students? Just
looking for some volunteer experience? If any of those appeal to you,
then you should volunteer with GLOW!

Come to our GLOW and Women’s Centre Volunteer Training this Saturday!
Dr. Tracy Morgan of UW Counselling Services will show you how to
provide peer support, KW Sexual Assault Support Centre will help you
cultivate an anti-oppressive environment, and Dr. Barbara Schumacher

In person, on the phone, or both, we’ll be running training to hold
hours in the Community Centre (one hour training) or on the Phone Line
(multi-session training) very soon! So which ever (or both) you want
to volunteer for, first you’ll need this essential training!
