MEES CONFERENCE KEYNOTE:

PERRY COHEN & THE VENTURE OUT PROJECT

Ta-da! We are thrilled to announce Perry Cohen, Executive Director and Instructor from The Venture Out Project, as our MEES Conference keynote speaker. Perry Cohen realized a lifelong dream of combining his love of the outdoors, his commitment to social justice, his own identity, and his professional life when he founded The Venture Out Project, Basecamp at Beaver Falls, and Transhealth Northampton.

The Venture Out Project envisions a world where queer, trans, and LGBTQ+ youth and adults create community, develop leadership skills, and gain confidence through the shared experience of outdoor adventure and physical activity.

MEES is comprised of a volunteer Board of Directors that meets monthly to plan the annual conference, manage communications, and work to bring information and programs to the EE community.
