GSA activists from throughout the country at the 2009 National Gathering
GSA activists from across the country come together every summer at the National Gathering. The goal of the National Gathering is to support the GSA movement across the country and expand it to include even more states, cities and towns.
The National Gathering is hosted by the National Association of GSA Networks. It provides an opportunity for National Association members to collaborate, share stories, exchange resources, discuss best practices, and build the GSA movement.
The National Gathering is free and travel scholarships are available.
The National Gathering welcomes 55 to 75 participants each year. About two-thirds of all participants are youth leaders. Skilled youth trainers facilitate the majority of the workshops at the National Gathering. Staff from various states also lead trainings.
GSA activists from states with organizational members in the National Association of GSA Networks are welcome to apply, as part of the GSA network in that state. Check the National Directory to find out if your state has an organizational member. If your state does not have a member, you can Start a GSA Network in your state. Please contact us. You may be eligible to attend.
To find out more information about the National Gathering of GSA Networks, or the National Association, please contact the National Network Manager, Alan Ratliff.
The next National Gathering will take place August 2-5, 2012 in Louisville, KY. This year's event is hosted by Louisville Youth Group, with generous support from Humana.
