Safe Zone

The Safe Zone Program at the University of Utah LGBT Resource Center strives to create an atmosphere of inclusion for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) individuals on our campus and in the surrounding community. The program raises visibility and promotes ally building through:

1. Education of individuals on LGBTQ+ issues relating to gender and sexuality and how one may intervene when they witness discrimination.
2. Creating visibility of people who can provide resources to LGBTQ+ community members and their allies.
3. Creating a safe environment on campus and in the community free from transphobia, homophobia, heterosexism, and cisgender bias.

 

The Program generally lasts for 3 hours. Trainings can be scheduled throughout the year.
