We began our coalition in 2013 as a Community Circle with a goal to support GSTA clubs in area high schools. The mission since has expanded and now works towards creating an environment where everyone can thrive as their authentic self in Washington County. The DRA meetings are used to discuss current events, engage statewide organizations and support community progress.
In 2020 the DRA began expanding our efforts by initiating “The Traveling Rainbow” a grant funded project to improve mental health outcomes in our area by providing pro-social experiences and improving Allyship Community wide.
As a result of last year’s collaboration with DRA, we have had a significant number of students seek out resources and support from us as they navigate their path of sexual and gender identity. I feel that our collaboration has provided our students with a feeling of safety and genuine trust and care at Washington Academy that has empowered them to be themselves.”
