The Pride Center's SafeZone Training
LGBTQIA2+ Allyship Development Workshop
Friday, June 30, 2023 · 9 AM - 5 PM
It's back! After a long hiatus due to our transition back to campus, the SafeZone LGBTQIA2+ Allyship Development Workshop will be making a return just in time for Pride Month!
This workshop is designed to help students, staff, faculty, alumnx, and campus affiliates to create a more welcoming, affirmative atmosphere for LGBTQIA2+ members of the UMBC community. The program includes a variety of activities for community members at all levels of knowledge and comfort with LGBTQIA2+ culture and concerns, from basic terminology, core concepts, LGBTQIA2+ intersections, to skills-based sessions on pronoun usage, allyship development, as well as the nuances between sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation and romantic orientation. Once completed, participants have the opportunity to join i3b’s formal network of SafeZone Ally List.
To register fill out our RSVP Form (Registration Deadline: 06/23/2023 at noon). You must use the form to register to account for any dietary and accessibility restrictions.
