Time to THRIVE was founded with the goal of building a strong network of supportive adults to ensure LGBTQ+ youth don’t simply survive, but THRIVE. Our summit is a convening to build awareness and cultural competency, learn current and emerging best practices, gather resources from leading experts and organizations in the field, and connect adult allies on the ground with regional approach.

About Time To THRIVE
Time to THRIVE has evolved over recent years as we are currently in the midst of a truly tremendous and nearly unprecedented avalanche of pushback against the LGBTQ+ community. Across the country, record-numbers of anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced and sadly even passed in state legislatures, often targeting LGBTQ+ youth and specifically transgender youth. This prompted HRC to issue our first ever National State of Emergency in June 2023.
This has also prompted Time to THRIVE to adapt and shift to a regional model, allowing us to focus on the regional realities that vary wildly across the country due to this wave of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. We hope you’ll join us at a regional Time to THRIVE summit!
Time to THRIVE in the Upper Midwest will take place on Saturday, May 18, 2024 in Minneapolis, MN and focus on Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa.
Our Time to THRIVE’s summits will have open registration to anyone, anywhere, who want to learn more about supporting LGBTQ+ youth. We strongly encourage registration from our target region.
The summit will feature a full day of professional development opportunities including breakout workshops facilitated by experts from HRC, Project THRIVE partners, and more. Expect to see keynote speakers, dynamic panel discussions, and other activities to strengthen our tools in service to LGBTQ+ young people. A full detailed schedule will be released in early 2024.
