THE MISSION OF
SAFE ZONE
The Safe Zone program strives to erase homophobia and
heterosexism on Saint Louis University’s campus and provide
support to those who need it. Through education, advocacy and
awareness of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning
and ally issues, the program contributes to an open campus
climate that is safe and accepting for all members of the
University community.
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
|
Saint Louis
University students, faculty and staff who want to visibly
show their support for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered,
and questioning individuals can volunteer to be part of the
Safe Zone program.
Individuals interested in participating must attend a Safe
Zone training workshop which goes through a number of topics
from defining common vocabulary to what you can do to help
GLBT students on campus.
At the completion of the training, members are given a
placard to display in their residence hall room, office or
classroom. Members are also provided a resource manual as
reference should they ever need it. |
 |
Safe Zone members
do not judge and do not try to convert. They may not know all of
the answers, but they are knowledgeable of resources for further
support and information on campus.
