CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The 9th Annual Campus Pride Summer Leadership Academy will be held from July 14-19 on the University of North Carolina-Charlotte campus.
The event provides training for LGBT and ally students, faculty, staff and social justice leaders and advocates.

We believe in showcasing our local community to national leaders and we want to share the activism of youth in the Carolinas and across the South,” said Shane Windmeyer, executive director of Campus Pride. “This will be a significant milestone for our organization and the first national LGBTQ youth event of its kind hosted in Charlotte.”
