Schools Focus: Safe, Respectful and Healthy Schools How You Can Make a Difference!
Are you a youth or adult interested in making a difference in the schools in your community and across the nation? Come to this Daylong Institute to learn about the current state of LGBT issues in schools across the country, and what YOU can do to improve it. Whether you interact daily with a school community or are an interested bystander who wants to get involved, well share tools for you to advocate for and implement effective evidence-based interventions at the state and local level both personally and by providing information and resources to others. As part of the day, well also have local safe schools advocates sharing their stories, challenges and successes. This institute is appropriate for any who are interested in safer schools whether youve been doing the work already for years or are just preparing to dive in. If you are a more experienced schools advocate/organizer, please be prepared to share some of your best practices in discussion sessions. Organized and presented by GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network. Presenters: Kiwi Grady, Individual Engagement Associate and Ikaika Regidor, Chapter Engagement Associate, GLSEN, New York City
