Welcome to Unify Sedona! |

Unify Sedona…a rainbow alliance is a bridge-building organization. Our intention is to create opportunities for ALL members of the community, including LGBTQ+, black, brown and indigenous groups to gather and embrace our uniqueness, always recognizing that we are stronger together. We host events that provide a safe forum for conversation and mutual understanding. We provide valuable, thematic educational opportunities that honor these four pillars relating to the LGBTQ+ experience: health and aging, youth and education, non-discrimination, and transgender issues. All of our events focus on inspiring others to love more and judge less, affecting change locally, which will inevitably affect change regionally and globally, hence meeting our mission: promoting acceptance and celebrating diversity through education and collaboration. Now that we have been around for five years, we have forged alliances with numerous partners, sponsors and supporters. we are grateful and strive to meet our unified mission.
In March, the Unify Sedona board of directors supported a need to defray travel costs for a group of nineteen students to participate at the United Nations in New York City. This is an annual opportunity at the Montessori Model United Nations that enables students to practice their leadership skills while working on real world issues, like discrimination/civil rights, climate change, war and violence, free speech, draught and more. The students are assigned a country at the beginning of the school year and their trip to the United Nations is a culminating activity. They put on multiple fund raisers and our donation of $10,000 assured that all student participants could travel and attend. Needless to say, the trip was a great success and the children returned with new knowledge and even innovative direction in solving our world's problems. In youth is our hope for a better world.
Kudos to the teachers, parents and students for their planning and encouragement of this most valuable experience.
