Acceptance Week Program


Modeling Safe and Affirming Schools for LGBTQ Students


Being yourself shouldn't be a privilege.

While at school, LGBTQ youth face disproportion adversity and hardships. We work with schools to create evidence-based programming that fosters an accepting and supportive campus climate for their students. 


This program is available at no-cost to schools in the US and UK.
