SEE YOU AT THE HOCO RAINBOW CONFERENCE ON MAY 15!
We're excited to talk LGBTQ+ youth sports at this year's HoCo Rainbow Conference! Our session will start at 4pm. You can register for as many sessions as you like here.
Our Session: Unmatched Athlete is a new 501c3 non-profit whose mission is to encourage LGBTQ+ & ally youth ages 5 - 18 years old to participate in sports and fitness. When we launch, we plan on holding monthly pickup games in six sports and fitness activities.
We believe that creating a safe and supportive environment for LGBTQ+ youth in sports and fitness is imperative towards creating a more equitable and just society. We want all of our youth regardless of their experience level, to feel comfortable exploring their athletic creativity and all of the benefits that sports and fitness has to offer. We also want to support queer identifying student athletes towards a path to competing collegiately.
We’re humbled to be presenting at this year’s HoCo Rainbow Conference. We’ll be discussing more about our mission and plans for this year. We’ll also have an open discussion regarding LGBTQ+ peoples' experiences participating in sports and fitness.
If you have any questions before the event, please feel free to reach out to us at info@unmatchedathlete.org. See you there!
