What is Safe Zone?
Safe Zone is a program implemented at various colleges and universities across the country. It is designed to educate the community about personal, sociological and political issues faced by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning people. Through education and advocacy, Safe Zone strives to foster a safe, affirming, and socially just environment for the LGBT community.
How to become an ally
An ally is someone who identifies her/his self as a friend, supporter, resource and advocate for LGBTQ people. People who have completed the Safe Zone Training program and have committed to serving as an ally receive a Safe Zone sticker that can be placed on doors, walls, etc. This then identifies the ally to LGBTQ or other allies. To participate in Safe Zone Training, contact the Counseling Center at 452-8480. Trainings are typically offered once per semester.
