Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance

Purpose

This 17-month project will strengthen the capacity and networks of Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance (W2SA) to advance LGBTQ2 equality. This will be achieved by building managerial capacity; enhancing technical expertise and evidence-based approaches; increasing the cross-sectoral capacity of indigenous and non-Indigenous 2SLGBTQ+ organizations and First Nations communities; and strengthening collaboration among organizations through inter-provincial network development and resource sharing, regional advocacy planning, partnership initiatives including research, and cultural awareness training. At the end of the project, the organization will have increased knowledge and capacity to advance equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression; and partnerships and collaborations will have been established and/or strengthened to support the LGBTQ2 movement.
