Once prohibitively dangerous, Colombia is now accessible for travelers. Join Matthew Cull's informative presentation as he explores the Colombian Andes and Caribbean Coast with its bucolic and topographic rural landscapes, spectacular mountain vistas, atmospheric colonial towns, and its vibrant and colorful cities. Colombia is a beautiful and exciting country far from the regular tourist route.

It is essential that all individuals have the opportunity to see themselves represented in the literature they read. However, this can be a challenge for LGBTQ+ teens. We aim to establish a safe space for the LGBTQ+ youth and their supporters to congregate and connect over LGBTQ+ literature in a positive way. Once a month, we will select a book authored by an LGBTQ+ writer or featuring LGBTQ+ characters. We encourage open and respectful dialogue among all of our participants.
