Safe Zone Facilitator Training Slated for October 8 and 22

09/30/2020

The Cross Cultural Center will be offering Safe Zone Facilitator Trainings between 3-5 p.m. on Oct. 8 and Oct. 22.

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 providing a space to begin focusing on intersectional competencies.

There are four modules to the Safe Zone program. The training provided for this semester will be for modules 1 and 2. The training for session one will be held from 3-5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8.

The training for session 2 will be held from 3-5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22.

All trainings will be virtual. Participants must be present for both sessions in order to facilitate these modules.

Members of the SLU community who are interested in being trained as Facilitators for the Safe Zone Competency program may apply here or email Richard Marks at richard.marks@slu.edu for more information.
