Let’s take the first step together.
Where you can find us
We are proud of the gravitational waves our Collective members have been creating since our launch in Summer 2022:
Lizzy Appleby was featured at TEDx Wilmette’s April 2023 showcase with her talk Say What’s True: Everyday Bravery Can Change the World.
Nat Duran was invited to contribute to Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth in Afterschool Programs and Opposing Anti-LGBTQ+ Attacks, a briefing paper that was a product of How Kids Learn Foundation and Temescal Associates. You can find Nat’s contributions throughout the above briefing paper, and in the subsequent blog posts that highlight some of their responses (linked here and here).
Most of the Constellation team supported Center on Halsted’s Trans Youth and Family Action Summit in so many ways in March 2025. From piloting a new workshop, Grounding Ourselves in Solidarity, to hosting the Support Space and tabling in the Resource Fair, it was uplifting to be in community with so many rad young folks and their supportive adults.
Jess Levine and Nat Duran brought our workshop Accessibility Lens: Creating Inclusive Spaces for Youth with Diverse Social Abilities to Youth Outlook’s Future Outlook conference in April 2025 - where Nat also filled in as a keynote speaker!
Nat Duran once again presented Grounding Ourselves in Solidarity to a broader, national audience via Learning With Love: The 2025 PFLAG National Convention held this year in Chicago
