The purpose of GSA is to foster an active and diverse culture in our schools. The GSA provides opportunities for students to build friendships and encourages open-mindedness and diversity within the school community. We work to establish a safe and caring environment through the GSA and within the entire school, educating and inspiring students and teachers a like.
GSA clubs provide a safety net for students during the coming out process. With a GSA club, youth break through the isolation to find support from peers and school staff. GSA clubs unite LGBTQ students, straight allies, and members of the school community who are committed to making schools safer and more accepting for LGBT students.
GSAs draw on the courage of LGBTQ youth and the commitment of straight allies working in partnership to build bridges, improve school climates, and change school policies. Strong, well-supported GSAs can have a major impact on the education environment and possess the power to transform individuals, school cultures, and educational institutions.
