Safe Zone is a program geared toward creating an inclusive environment for the LGBTQIA+ community. It allows for introspection and thought on various aspects of the LGBTQIA+ community through discussion about tolerance and acceptance. Safe Zone educates individuals on issues related to the LGBTQIA+ community and provides the tools for participants to become allies.

UW’s Safe Zone offers a variety of training sessions that cover many topics, including inequalities in the everyday lives of LGBTQIA+ individuals.
