One-third of young people under 25 self-identify as a member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Despite comprising a significant portion of the post-secondary student demographic, 2SLGBTQ+ young people face disproportionate barriers to inclusion.

The 2SLGBTQ+ Community Access and Inclusion Fund will will go towards programming developed by the Student Experience Office’s equity diversity, and inclusion team to support educational initiatives related to gender identity and sexual orientation, including initiatives like Pride Festival.

The 2SLGBTQ+ Community Access and Inclusion Fund is one way the Carleton community is working to alleviate the marginalization and oppression experienced by 2SLGBTQ+ students and young people. The fund will support the establishment of a culture of inclusivity and belonging at Carleton University and the National Capital Region through programming and public education initiatives.
