Elk Grove Pride 2023
We tabled at the 2nd annual Elk Grove Pride event hosted by Sacramento Filipinx LGBTQIA+! This event centered LGBTQ+ Pride, and their theme this year was "Embodied Liberation." This event celebrated Pride while also bringing awareness to the struggles and experiences we still face to this day as we pursue our collective liberation. Although they don't have a website (yet), check out Sacramento Filipinx LGBTQIA+ on Instagram via @sacfilipinxlgbtqia
At this event, many local organizations, vendors, speakers, artists, performers, and educators came together to foster a fun and warm event for the Elk Grove community. The Youth Development Office did multiple stations for kids to unleash their creativity and affirm their identities, including arts & crafts, affirmation cards, and face-painting. We also hosted a few games! YDO is committed to making our students feel safe, heard, celebrated, and affirmed.

LGBTQ+ Youth Summit
LGBTQ+ Youth Summit is a celebration for EGUSD’s Genders and Sexualities Alliance clubs (GSA) and LGBTQ+ student members and allies from all middle school and high schools. We use this space and time to uplift LGBTQ+ student voices and bring awareness to community resources and organizations supporting LGBTQ+ folks, mental health, bullying prevention and drug prevention.
YDO brought back the LGBTQ+ Youth Summit event after being on hiatus due to COVID-19. Summit empowers and uplifts students with activities and resources focused on wellness, community-building, and creative expression. By giving visibility and support to our LGBTQ+ youth and their allies, we can move towards removing stigma and creating safe learning environments for them to thrive!
Look at our amazing panelists! Pictured left to right: Dr. Carmelo Miranda, Nikki Abeleda, and Gio Gonzalez.
