Safe Zone training lasts 3 hours, and is suitable for students, staff, and faculty. It will help you become a better ally for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. At the end of the training, participants are given a colorful Safe Zone logo in order to visibly demonstrate their support for the LGBT community. We hope you will join us!

The Safe Zone mission is to promote an environment where the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community and their allies flourish intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Towards this end, we envision the program as a visible network of allies who support each other and support individual LGBTQ people. We hope to build a climate where everyone feels safe and accepted.

Johns Hopkins affirms our commitment to a diverse and inclusive community in many ways, including having sexual orientation and gender identity /expression in our non-discrimination policy. The Safe Zone program invites everyone to create a safer and more supportive campus climate for sexual and gender minorities and their allies. The Safe Zone program is housed with LGBTQ Life. It was established in 2012 as a collaborative training effort engaging students, staff, and faculty across all departments and offices at Hopkins.

Other Things to Know about Safe Zone

Some of our participants have elected to add their name to our online ally directory, in order to serve as resources for others. You might also be interested in becoming a facilitator yourself!

We also schedule trainings by request for your office, department, or group of 8 - 30. Please email us to discuss details, or to be notified when new sessions are scheduled.

We are committed to making the trainings available to any members of the Hopkins community who wish to participate. Please email us to request any accommodations so that you can fully participate in the training.
