OUT for Safe Schools SUPPORTING LGBTQ YOUTH AT YOUR SITE

What Is OUT for Safe Schools? Created by Los Angeles LGBT Center, LAUSD and GSA Network. National OUT for Safe Schools 2015 campaign included: Los Angeles Unified Duval County Public Schools Boston Public Schools Chicago Public Schools New York City Department of Education Oakland Unified School District San Diego Unified School District San Francisco Unified School District District of Columbia Department of Education District of Columbia Public Schools.

Purpose of OUT Badges: Encourage school staff (including administrators, teachers, nurses, counselors, food service personnel, custodial staff, bus drivers, etc.) to publicly identify as supportive LGBTQ+ allies. Visual display of support lets students know who represents a “safe space” and that safe spaces are not limited to the classroom. Staff who wish to participate can wear the badges, which displays their willingness to talk to students and parents about LGBTQ+ concerns. Foster an inclusive community and create safe space and resources for LGBTQ+ students, staff and parents, and for all students to celebrate all identities.

How To Be an Ally Declare that you are a safe space ambassador to all LGBTQ+ students. Advocate for the safety, inclusion and celebration of LGBTQ+ individuals. Stand up for an LGBTQ+ individual. Speak out against hurtful language. Proactively work to ensure that school climate policies and practices are safe and inclusive for LGBTQ+ individuals. Refer to resources, as needed.
