ProgramsSocial Events: Our Family Coalition hosts many events in both San Francisco and the East Bay where families can connect and have fun together. School Advocacy: We work with parents, teachers, administrators and others to create more welcoming schools for the children of LGBTQ headed households, address gender stereotypes, and break down anti-gay bias at an early age. Peer Support Groups: Our support groups provide a forum for LGBTQ individuals to meet, explore shared concerns, receive assistance from their peers, and learn from experts. Parent Education: Our educational workshops provide support and resources on a range of topics, including legal rights and protections, family building, coming out to your children, marriage equality, talking with children about their origins, child development and more. Social Justice: We strive to increase visibility and achieve justice and full equality for LGBTQ families. Along with our families, we work with local, state and national coalitions to advocate for change on issues relevant to our families, including marriage equality and healthcare reform. Cultural Competency for Providers: We offer trainings at medical settings and social service agencies to institutionalize a better understanding of LGBTQ families so that these professionals can better serve us. Information & Referrals: Our Family Coalition seeks to better serve LGBTQ headed families and prospective parents in the San Francisco Bay Area by connecting them with applicable and welcoming resources. Publications: Our Family Coalition produces a number of publications to better serve, as well as increase the visibility and understanding of LGBTQ-headed families. Fiscal Projects: Our Family Coalition is proud to be the fiscal sponsor of great projects that align with our mission. Currently, Our Family Coalition is the fiscal agent for Family Arts Bridge (FAB) Camp and Somos Familia.
