A safe zone or a safe space is a place where all people feel safe, welcome and included. It may be a room, a car, or an entire organization.

The Center’s Safe Zone Training aims to increase the awareness, knowledge, and skills for individuals and address the challenges that exist when one wants to advocate for their LGBTQ peers, family members, friends, coworkers, and students, as well as for themselves. Creating safe zones is a proactive step that schools, agencies and corporations can take to create welcoming, inclusive spaces so that all people are empowered to reach their full potential.

This training will give participants the skills they need to provide support and to create environments that are safe, welcoming and inclusive. At the end of the class, participants receive a Safe Zone Certificate.

Safe Zone Training can be customized to meet the needs of any organization.
