GLSEN INC
Mission Statement
Founded in 2002, GLSEN Arizona is part of a national chapter network that works to ensure that each student in every K-12 school is valued and treated with respect, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We believe that all students deserve safe and inclusive K-12 schools. LGBTQIA+ students who feel unsafe and unsupported at school are more likely to have been victimized and discriminated against at school, and thus, more likely to have high absenteeism, more likely to have lower GPAs, less likely to participate in school activities, more likely to have lower self-esteem and a lower sense of school belonging, less likely to graduate from high school, and less likely to consider going to college. GLSEN Arizona trains, resources and empowers Arizona’s K-12 school communities to organize and create safer, more inclusive and more affirming learning environments.
