Including, but not limited to persons identifying as: LGBTQIA+, women, persons of color, and/or persons with disabilities.

Need-Based: Applicants should be active community members who are not being assisted or sponsored by a company or organization, have recently experienced job loss or a budget freeze, and are unable to attend for financial reasons.
