A Safe Zone Ally is a member of the University community who is committed to fighting homophobia and heterosexism, while offering visible support to members of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (GLBTQ) population. This program is designed to provide interested members with information, resources, and guidance regarding this often marginalized population and opportunities to support students.
Safe Zone is willing to specifically tailor the training to various campus departments (classroom instruction, academic advising, research, student support & services, etc.). Safe Zone Ally trainings are an excellent professional development tool that explores facts and myths about GLBTQ issues and skills training for those seeking to serve as Allies. The training takes approximately two hours and our office will provide all the materials needed for the training. General training sessions are open to all and listed on the calendar below.
Th Safe Zone Ally Initiative will be
participating in a number of GLBT related events and
recommend that you participate in other events around
the Columbia area. These events will be updated as more
information becomes available. For more information
