About °®¶¹´«Ã½C Safe Zones

The °®¶¹´«Ã½C Safe Zone Coalition identifies, educates, and supports Allies via training. Allies are individuals within the °®¶¹´«Ã½C community who consider themselves to be knowledgeable about the needs of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQA) and/or undocumented people. Individuals who complete the training choose to provide support by displaying a sticker or lapel pin that indicates that they are an advocate and have cultural competence for those who are undocumented and/or LGBTQA. By building a community of Allies, we will foster and support greater student success.

Identifying Allies: The Safe Zones Decal

For most participants, the Safe Zone decal and pins identify them as compassionate, open-minded people who are willing to listen to student's concerns about LGBTQA & Undocumented issues. Safe Zone decals and lapel pins are used by Allies in order to show they have completed a workshop, have chosen to educate themselves about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities/undocumented students, and can direct individuals to campus and local resources. A person displaying a Safe Zone sticker or magnet has been through the required training and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for LGBTQA and Undocumented people.
