Website Details
Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) Network, founded in 1998, is a youth organization that was created to ensure safe environments in schools for students to support each other and fight against discrimination, harassment, and bullying in schools. Middle schools report that more youth are coming out or questioning sexuality at younger ages across the country. Research shows that students with GSA clubs at their schools feel safer and more supported from peers and staff.
Review

Additionally, information is given on the steps to take so students can start their own GSA clubs to create safer school environments. News, events, and resources are provided so students can get involved.
