The Safe Zone project aims to create a more welcoming and more inclusive campus environment, to strengthen community, and to encourage networking among faculty, staff, and students toward the goal of supporting the diverse individuals and communities with minoritized sexual and/or gender identities.
The Safe Zone Project addresses the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual and pansexual (LGBTQQIAP) people. This training is designed to:
- Provide a general overview of issues and concerns faced by LGBTQQIAP individuals and communities
- Increase awareness and understanding about sexual orientation, and gender identity and expression at The Ohio State University
- Provide resources to enable students, faculty, and staff to act as better allies to people marginalized due to their sexual or gender identities, and to continue learning after the training
- Promote a safer, more welcoming, and more inclusive campus environment in which students of all sexual orientations and gender identities can live and learn fully
Safe Zone Trainings are a nationally recognized program, and a great addition to any resume.
