Safe Zone Ally Workshops are to identify, educate, and support allies. Allies are faculty, staff, administrators, and students who consider themselves to be open and knowledgeable about gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) issues and who choose to openly provide support and advocate for LGBTQ individuals. By the end of this session, participants will have a greater understanding of how to be an ally to LGBTQ individuals who navigate difficult/positive responses when they come out to various communities; understand the challenges LGBTQ individuals experience to assist them with recognizing and building an awareness of non-verbal communication signs; learn to utilize their gained knowledge and skills to foster a supportive and safe atmosphere for LGBTQ students, faculty, and staff; and become part of an identifiable System-wide network of Safe Zone Allies. These activities will be reflective, small group, and sometimes-large group discussions.
