GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network) Upstate New York Chapter

GLSEN Upstate New York is a chapter of GLSEN, a national organization fighting for every student’s right to a safe, supportive education. GLSEN Upstate New York is a grassroots initiative, working locally in our community to ensure safe schools for all students, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. There are 43 Chapters around the country doing this important work. Join us today! Our chapter supports students and educators locally, organizes around LGBTQ-affirming public policy, plans teacher trainings, and hosts events for students, educators, parents, and allies. Chapters like ours play an important role in bringing GLSEN’s programs and visions to right where we live, work, and learn. While some chapters have full-time or part-time staff, most are entirely volunteer-based. We're always looking for new volunteers to help us ensure safe schools for all students.
