History Has Work to Do!

Since 2016, One Institute has worked with corporate partners, making LGBTQ+ history visible and providing opportunities for team members to learn about our programs. Through Queer History @ Work, we partner with companies and organizations that support diversity and equity, and foster inclusive work environments. We provide trainings on LGBTQ+ history including topics such as:

  • history of the LGBTQ+ movements
  • LGBTQ+ Pride
  • gender identity
  • the LGBTQ+ acronym

We also offer sponsorship opportunities for our corporate partners who wish to support our programs and events.

To learn more about our corporate program, please contact Tony Valenzuela, Executive Director, at [email protected].
