All students have the right to an education and to the opportunity to
reach their full potential of academic achievement. No student, family,
or staff member associated with a Minnesota school should be made to
feel unsafe or be deprived of educational opportunities because of bias
concerning sexual orientation or gender identity. By working to make
Minnesota schools safe for GLBT students, staff, and faculty, OutFront
Minnesota helps schools create a positive school environment in which
everyone can thrive.
OutFront Minnesota Provides:
- Advocacy services for students experiencing bias or discrimination at
school
- Trainings / consultations for school staff
- Lobbying – working with legislators, local human rights commissions
and other elected officials to advocate for quality educational
environments
- Membership in
Minnesota School OUTreach Coalition - works statewide to improve the
school climate for GLBT youth in k-12 schools, including various
Gay-Straight
Alliances
