Campus Pride is excited to announce faculty openings for Camp Pride Summer LGBT Leadership Camp to be hosted on the campus of Vanderbilt University, July 17-22, 2012. We are seeking faculty members to lead 60 undergraduate students through a comprehensive leadership experience that will enhance their abilities to create change on their campus and beyond.
Campus Pride Summer Leadership Camp is the only national camp for LGBT & ally undergraduate student leaders from across the United States. The six-day camp experience develops stronger undergraduate student leaders and safer, more LGBT-friendly colleges and universities. Participants have the opportunity to learn valuable campus organizing skills, coalition building and strategies for creating change on campuses and beyond. Camp faculty members are core components to the curriculum, program delivery and fundraising. Applications are being accepted through January 13, 2012.
Please apply and/or encourage others to apply to serve as faculty for the Campus Pride Summer Leadership Camp. The selection committee takes every measure to select the most diverse faculty possible. This process is done to ensure that each camper has quality interactions with queer leaders from all different backgrounds, professions, personal identities, lived experiences and family dynamics.

| “Camp blew all my expectations out of the water. I thought this was just going to be another leadership conference, same as all the others... far from it! Camp was a journey of self-discovery... I made friends from all over the country and built the skills and confidence to change my campus forever. I will never think of LGBT issues the same again." |
