2009 Oregon Safe Schools Training

October 23 & 24

Eugene, Oregon

What is the Oregon Safe Schools Training?
At this two-day training, groups from all across Oregon come learn about how to make their schools and communities a safer place for gay, straight, bisexual, lesbian, and trans people and their allies. The goal is to inspire you with new ideas and connect you with the resources you need to make a difference in your school and community.

The training will give many ideas and support for how to start a project to make a difference. Plus, any group that submits a report on the progress of its project is eligible to receive a $150 award!

Whether you want to start a new GLBTQ group at your school, get new ideas and support for your GSA, or develop a specific project, the Safe Schools Training is the place for you.

How do I sign up?
To register for the summit, go to http://www.oregonsafeschools.org/ondemand.html
Participants register as teams, usually from specific schools or organizations. Each team should ideally include three-to-five people, with a minimum of one adult and one youth. Please contact us if you are having trouble finding others in your area to join up with.

We hope to see you in Eugene October 23rd and 24th! For more information about the 2009 training, please visit http://www.oregonsafeschools.org or email info@oregonsafeschools.org.
