Equity Work that Matters Spotlight: Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) Phoenix

Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, Phoenix strives to create safe, respectful, and healthy K-12 schools for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. We pursue our mission through three key programs: professional development for people who work in school and youth-serving organizations; student leadership development to help start and sustain Gay/Straight Alliance student clubs and student organizing efforts; and, reform and implementation of anti-bullying, anti-harassment and non-discrimination policies and laws at the state, district and local school level. We also provide support and intervention for individuals or groups targeted with anti-LGBT bias or behavior in schools
