DCSMA Education Program

The DCSMA education program provides information and training to interested sexual-minority organizations, including Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Trans, SM, leather, kink, and queer groups.

The aim of the program is to strengthen and unify sexual-minority communities both in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and elsewhere.

While we focus on the DC area, the DCSMA educational program has provided lecturers and panelists for educational meetings all over the United States.
