The North Hartford Ascend Pipeline (Ascend) is a cradle-to-career effort to ensure children living in the North Hartford Promise Zone – which includes the Clay Arsenal, Northeast, and Upper Albany neighborhoods – have the support they need to reach their full potential.
Ascend holds monthly Community Conversations to ensure residents and community members are able to provide input about community needs and help shape the direction of this important initiative.

Learn more about the experiences, challenges, language, culture, and history of the queer community, presented by Q Plus.
Community Workshop: LQBT (QIAP+) 101 (Youth Audience)
Learn more about the experiences, challenges, language, culture, and history of the queer
community. This training offers a more in-depth discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression, including a discussion on the meaning, importance, and use of orientation labels and gender pronouns. We will discuss language and symbols and take a look at how queer identity intersects with other aspects of identity and culture. Cultivated specifically for youth, this version includes memes and trivia style games, and the content will focus more on gender, labels, and coming out than on sexuality and history.
Q Plus works to create more youth accessible spaces, uplift youth voices, and empower queer youth. Our overall goal is to create space for queer youth to be authentically and entirely themselves.
Seats are limited, and pre-registration is required for this event. Hartford residents will be eligible to receive a $50 incentive for their participation following the workshop. Refreshments will be provided.
