Rainbow Diversity Training
SPECTRUM’s Rainbow Diversity Training is a service that helps organizations along the path towards becoming more open and welcoming, as well as equitable and accessible to persons of all sexual and gender diversities, both to clients and employees of the organization.
SPECTRUM offers both online training modules for individuals as well as a variety of workshops for organizations in 2SLGBTQIA+ cultural competency that help organizations along the path towards becoming more welcoming and inclusive to 2SLGBTQIA+ employees, clients, and other partners or stakeholders.

RDT Training Workshops for Organizations
We have the following two-hour workshops available:
- Rainbow Diversity Training 101 (also available as a one-hour lunch and learn that provides a condensed version)
- Rainbow Diversity Training 201
- Rainbow Diversity Training 301
- Rainbow Diversity Training for Leaders
- Aging with Pride (for senior-serving organizations)
Why does 2SLGBTQIA+ cultural competency matter?
Anti-2SLGBTQIA+ stigma means that 2SLGBTQIA+ people face difficult choices in deciding whether they feel safe being out at work. Becoming a more open and welcoming organization can not only support employees but to improve interactions with clients who are 2SLGBTQIA+.
What’s in the workshops?
SPECTRUM’s series of RDT workshops can help organizations at all stages of their learning process, as well as a training program for leaders and a program for senior-serving organizations. Topics covered in these courses include:
RDT 101 | RDT 201 | RDT 301 |
---|---|---|
|
|
RDT for Leaders | Aging with Pride | Audit of Documents |
---|---|---|
|
| For an hourly rate we can audit policies, procedures, manuals, forms, websites, etc. and provide a report with recommendations for revisions to make them more inclusive and welcoming for 2SLGBTQIA+ people. |

Online modules for individuals
SPECTRUM offers two options for eLearning about 2SLGBTQIA+ basics:
- Rainbow Diversity Training 101: a course covering basic terms and concepts
- Rainbow Diversity Training 102: a supplementary course that covers privilege, intersectionality, and puts the basic terms into context
- Rainbow Diversity Training 201: a course that continues and expands on the basic material first covered by our RDT 101 and 102 online courses.
Users can choose either to purchase access to just a single course, or a bundle including multiple courses.
