Safe Schools Coalition

The Center is pleased to serve as the nonprofit fiscal sponsor of the Idaho Chapter of the Safe Schools Coalition, a growing partnership of community organizations, youth, parents and educators dedicated to ensuring that each child feels safe attending school. The mission of the Idaho Chapter of the Safe Schools Coalition is to help Idaho schools become safer places where every family can belong, where every educator can teach, and where every child can learn, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

The Coalition's goal is to help schools better meet the needs of all students, including those who are perceived and/or identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT), as well as children of LGBT families. The Coalition provides free resources and skill-based training for educators (including those who are preparing to teach) and advocacy for all students. They also collaborate with school board members, administrators and legislators in order to ensure Idaho schools are safe.
