The Safe Zone Competency program strives to shed light on the systemic use of heteronormativity and cis-normativity on Saint Louis University’s campus while providing education surrounding building support systems for the LGBTQ* community and its allies.

Through education, advocacy, and awareness of LGBTQ* and ally issues, the program seeks to become a stepping stone to shifting the campus climate and provide a space to begin focusing on intersectional competencies.
