Mission: GSAFE promotes public policy by which schools are alleviated from discrimination and harassment on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity/expression so that all students, faculty, staff and other school community members are made physically and emotionally safe; provides resources which address the educational, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs and wants of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersexual, and queer (lgbitq) youth and their allies; and upholds goals in educational environments that foster valuing lgbtiq persons.
GSAFE played the leading role in developing and getting passed a non-discrimination policy that included sexual orientation and gender identity in the Guilford County Schools.

GSAFE collaborated with other local organizations to plan events and bring speakers to our community. GSAFE impacts our local public and private schools, helping teachers, administrators, and students create schools that are safe for LGBT students and their families.
I was involved with GSAFE when I was in high school. I found the meetings of leaders from the different schools very helpful. It was wonderful to share ideas and projects with others around Greensboro.
I have had the wonderful experience of attending GSAFE events and of referring you people to it. One young man thatI knew who I referred to GSAFE finally became comfortable in his own skin as a result of yhis wonderful group.
