Organizations Filed Purposes: GLSEN IS DEDICATED TO ENDING BULLYING, HARASSMENT, AND DISCRIMINATION IN K-12 EDUCATION SO THAT LGBTQ YOUTH AT ALL INTERSECTIONS OF IDENTITY ARE SAFE, AND CAN LEARN AND THRIVE.

GLSEN IS DEDICATED TO ENDING THE VICTIMIZATION OF LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER, AND QUESTIONING (LGBTQ) YOUTH IN K-12 SCHOOLS BECAUSE NO YOUNG PERSON SHOULD HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THEIR WELLBEING AND AN EDUCATION. 57.6% OF LGBTQ YOUTH FEEL UNSAFE AT SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER EXPRESSION, OR GENDER IDENTITY AND, AS A RESULT, ARE LESS LIKELY TO REACH THEIR FULL ACADEMIC OR PERSONAL POTENTIAL. GLSEN'S PROGRAMS, CAMPAIGNS, AND INITIATIVES IMPROVE EDUCATION EXPERIENCES AND LIFE OUTCOMES FOR MARGINALIZED STUDENTS BY CLEARING A PATH TO LEADERSHIP, TRANSFORMING THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS, AND ENSURING THAT ALL STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO AN EDUCATION IN A SAFE, INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT, FREE FROM HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION. SINCE 1990, GLSEN HAS MEASURABLY IMPROVED SCHOOL CLIMATE FOR LGBTQ STUDENTS IN THE US, AND REDUCED THE DISCRIMINATION THEY FACE IN OUR SCHOOLS, WHILE INSPIRING AND SUSTAINING THE GROWTH OF GLOBAL SAFE SCHOOLS MOVEMENT. PLEASE JOIN US IN THIS WORK.

RESEARCH INSTITUTE : THE GLSEN RESEARCH INSTITUTE CONDUCTS ORIGINAL RESEARCH ON ISSUES OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY AND GENDER EXPRESSION IN K-12 EDUCATION, INCLUDING GLSEN'S BIENNIAL SURVEY OF LGBTQ STUDENTS, THE NATIONAL SCHOOL CLIMATE SURVEY, NOW IN ITS 20TH YEAR. GLSEN RESEARCH INSTITUTE EVALUATES GLSEN PROGRAMS AND RECOMMENDS EFFORTS TO IMPROVE SCHOOL CLIMATE, AND PROVIDES TOOLS AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, EDUCATORS, STUDENTS AND LOCAL ADVOCATES TO CONDUCT RESEARCH IN ORDER TO DOCUMENT STUDENT EXPERIENCES AND IMPROVE SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE GLSEN RESEARCH INSTITUTE ALSO LEADS GLSEN'S INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVE, PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND CAPACITY-BUILDING SUPPORT TO 40+ NGO PARTNERS IN FOUR GLOBAL REGIONS TO DEVELOP THE EVIDENCE BASE FOR PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND ADVOCACY ON LGBTQ ISSUES IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER GLSEN DEPARTMENTS, THE RESEARCH INSTITUTE ORGANIZES INTERNAL AND PARTNER CAPACITY TO ENGAGE WITH MULTILATERAL PROCESSES AND INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO FURTHER NORMS OF ACCEPTANCE AND INCLUSION FOR LGBTQ YOUTH IN EDUCATION AROUND THE WORLD, AND TO ENSURE THEIR INCLUSION IN GLOBAL EFFORTS TO MAKE EDUCATION ACCESSIBLE TO ALL.
