The LGBTQ+ Student Center provides Ally and Safe Zone Trainings to support students, faculty and staff create a safer, more welcoming, and inclusive environment for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ+) community.
All workshops are free and open to the CCNY campus community. Any student, staff, or faculty member is welcome and all are strongly encouraged to participate. An individual’s participation in Safe Zone often sends a strong message to campus community members that they are an identifiable source of support for LGBTQ+ students, staff, and faculty on our campus.
To schedule a training for your department or student organization please contact: lgbtq@ccny.cuny.edu . To view upcoming CUNY wide trainings, see below:
