What is a Safe Zone? "A safe zone (or a safe space) is a confidential place where all people can bring their authentic selves and feel safe, welcome and included. It may be a classroom, a car or an entire agency. Creating safe zones or safe spaces 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 program aims to increase 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 themselves.*

Organizers STRONGLY encourage this to be a training that people WANT to attend, NOT something that is mandatory.
