Provides real world tested training curricula intentionally designed in active learning pedagogy. Curricula cover an expansive view of LGBTQIA+ topics including basic fundamentals such as terms and the coming out process plus advanced subjects about transgender, sexuality over the lifespan, bisexuality, safe dating, online safety, and the intersections of faith/religion and multiple identities. Educators and administrators will find this a one stop resource to implement, coordinate, train members, and assess safe zone type programs.

What Reviewers Are Saying
"How safe and welcoming is your campus for LGBTQIA+ young people? How do you know? Safe Zones: Training Allies of LGBTQIA+ Young Adults, edited by Kerry J. Poynter, is an important and necessary book for every college campus to develop a safe and welcoming environment. Poynter gathered outstanding professionals in the LGBTQIA+ field who provided roadmaps and options for the ways in which people may do this work in their educational and organizational settings. The book is constructed in workshop format so that every stand-alone chapter is a training program. Each workshop is based on learning theory, drawing on a variety of academic disciplines. From my lifelong work in LGBT issues in education, I understand the necessity of this book not only for college campuses, but also for community centers, religious organizations, and all educational institutions." -- Ronni Sanlo Ed.D, UCLA LGBT Center Director Emeritus, UCLA Professor/retired As our country continues to struggle to understand the lives and experiences of LGBTQIA+ people, this book is an excellent training, awareness and education resource. The combination of history, theory, research and practical application make for a superb addition to your higher education library. -- Vernon A. Wall, Director - Business Development at LeaderShape and one of the founding faculty members of the Social Justice Training Institute Training for participants is an essential part of any viable safe space program. 'Safe Zones' is a book with extensive and valuable resources and references. It is an ideal accompaniment for a safe space training program. -- Greg Miraglia, Campus Pride Safe Space Training Program Coordinator
