SafeZone: LGBTQIA+ Allyship Development Workshop

This workshop is designed to help students, staff, and faculty to create a more welcoming and affirmative atmosphere for LGBTQIA+ members of the UMBC community. The program includes a variety of activities for community members at all levels of knowledge and comfort with LGBTQIA+ culture and concerns, from basic terminology, core concepts, LGBTQIA+ intersections, to skills-based sessions on pronoun usage and allyship development. Once completed, participants have the opportunity to join UMBC’s formal network of SafeZone Ally List.
