Project SAFE Allies

The NC State Pride Center provides Project Safe Ally training, a three-hour workshop open to NC State undergraduates, graduate students, staff, faculty and alumni as well as interested members of the local community. The workshop is designed to prepare participants to understand and address the needs of LGBT students. A list of individuals who have completed the training can be found here:

The curriculum addresses a wide range of information, including:

• Identity terms associated with the LGBT community
• Issues that LGBT students often deal with during the coming out process
• Concerns that LGBT students face both in and out of the classroom
• Ways that allies can create inclusive environments
• On- and off-campus resources available to students

LGBTQ Faculty and Staff Network

The LGBT Pride Center is primarily focused weith providing support for faculty, staff, and students. One way they do this is by collecting a voluntary list of LGBTQ faculty and staff to help facilitate community, to supply informal and formal feedback about campus climate, to support and mentor LGBTQ students, and to connect with prospective LGBTQ faculty and staff members.
