Current Summer Programs
We provide LGBTQ+ youth support and family workshops.
At Fortaleza Familiar our programs are offerings rooted in love, resilience and intergenerational healing spaces. They reflect our commitment to creating spaces with LGBTQ2S+ youth and families can connect to land, culture and each other in ways that affirm our existence and being.
LIBERATE OURSELVES
Liberate Ourselves is a transformative youth leadership development program rooted in cultural healing, political education, and community care. Created for Indigenous, Chicane, and Latine LGBTQ2S+ youth, this program supports young leaders in reclaiming their power, deepening their identities, and building skills to envision and lead liberatory futures.
We're the ones we've been waiting for.
Fortaleza En Naturaleza
FEN is our outdoor equity initiative that connects LGBTQ2S+ youth with the healing power of nature. Through seasonal camping trips, skill-building workshops, and land-based cultural practices, this program fosters belonging, confidence, and resilience in the outdoors. We center those who have historically been excluded from these spaces. We are always looking for youth, families and volunteers to help support.
