What is a Safe Zone?

A Safe Zone is a visible place such as an office or a residence hall room that a person can feel comfortable talking about his or her own feelings, and sexual/gender orientation. The person providing such space does not need to understand every facet of sexual or gender orientation, but should feel comfortable about providing nonjudgmental information and discussion.

Who can participate in the Safe Zone Project?
