GenderYOUTH Network

2005 National Conference on Gender was a HUGE success!!!

The GenderYOUTH program staff is excited to report that the 2005 National Conference on Gender was amazing! We had three days of theory, activism, and fun!

Many new friendships were made as well as new GenderYOUTH chapters. The campuses that created chapters or became affiliates are:
                                    Ramapo College of New Jersey
                                    Elmira College
                                    Bates College
                                    Mount Holyoke
                                    University of TN, Knoxville
And we are happy to say that this list is still growing as more schools are turning in their signed principles!

Please be sure to welcome the new chapters and meet all of the new and awesome GenderYOUTH chapter leaders by posting to the blog or sending an email to the listserv. The email for the listserv is genderyouth@yahoogroups.com. And to the new chapters, we look forward to all of the great work you will do. Please post to the blog anytime you have a question, want to share your work, or just want to keep all of us informed of what is happening on your campus, in your state, or in the world!

The fight for gender equality is far from over, but as we continue to grow, we know that our wonderful and hard-working activists will make change wherever they are. Thank you for all that you do!
