VISTA Table Talk, Episode 5: LGBTQ+ and Sport

VISTA Table Talk is a virtual series hosted by Up2Us Sports where we provide an opportunity for our VISTA members to come together to discuss the work they’re doing and the impact their organizations are making. The goal of VISTA is to provide organizations with capacity building AmeriCorps members to support organizations' mission to alleviate poverty. 

For Episode 5, in recognition of Pride Month, the discussion will be centered on LGTBQ+ members of the sports community, providing inclusive spaces and supporting LGBTQ+ youth with marginalized identities.

The episode will air live on the Up2Us VISTA IGTV Channel on Monday, June 28th at 12pm ET. It will also stream on the Up2Us Sports Spotify channel.

Hosted by: Jacob Toups, Executive Director at Rainbow Labs and Up2Us Sports VISTA Alumni
