GLSEN is a national network of educators, students, and local chapters working to ensure that every student has the right to a safe, supportive, and LGBTQ-inclusive K-12 education.
GLSEN's research and experience has shown that there are 4 major ways that schools can cultivate a safe and supportive environment for all of their students, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. These Four Supports are the focus of GLSEN’s programs, advocacy, research, and policy work.
1. Activating supportive educators who are needed to create LGBTQ-inclusive classroom environments.
2. Advocating for inclusive and affirmative curriculum, which not only offers support to LGBTQ students but raises the awareness of their pears and people around them as well.
3. Passing and implementing policies to ensure that all LGBTQ students can learn and thrive in safe, inclusive, accepting schools.
4. Supportive student-led clubs and GSAs, because student leaders are integral to creating community and pushing for change.
