GLSEN Pittsburgh
The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network strives to assure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation and/or gender identity/expression.
Nationally, GLSEN works to ensure safe schools for ALL students, regardless of sexual orientation and/or gender identity/expression. There are over 40 Chapters around the country, which work closely with the national staff of GLSEN to implement programs, and to keep national staff informed of local events. The work that chapters do covers a variety of subjects and issues, from public policy to teacher training to supporting students and educators around the country.
GLSEN Pittsburgh plays an important role in bringing GLSEN’s programs and visions to local communities in western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and northern West Virginia. We have only one paid staff member, the rest are entirely volunteer. We’re always looking for new volunteers to help us ensure safe schools for all students.
