Speaker series in Secondary Schools to tackle homophobia in sport

Nationwide

The Waterboy is raising funds to take our speaker series throughout New Zealand secondary schools.

We organise prominent Kiwis to address students on homophobia in sport with three main objectives:

1. Comfort those who are discovering they are not straight

2. Ensure those students know that sexuality is not a reason to not do sport

3. Let straight students know that derogatory terms make it harder for people to accept their sexuality and you never know who may be homosexual

The Waterboy's involvement (page creator)

We are The Waterboy. All money raised in this will go directly towards organising prominent speakers to speak in NZ Secondary School, just like what you see in the video.

About us

Waterboy - Breaking down barriers to give people opportunities for personal development as a means of creating stronger people and stronger communities.

Use of funds

Funds will be used to organise speaker series, contributing towards set up, travel, speaker's time and filming of speaker series for maximum social impact.

Thanks for your support Michelle. It may sound cliche but it's so true, we wouldn't be able to put the time/effort and resource into driving this forward without your support. Hugely appreciated. We will put you onto our email list for updates unless you advise otherwise. Thanks again
