Mission Statement
Safe Zone's purpose at Joliet Junior College is to reduce homophobia and heterosexism on our campus thus making our campus a safer and freer environment for all members of our community regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity.
The Safe Zone program includes training for individuals to serve as a resource referral (allies) for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (GLBTQ) students. These allies clearly identify that their space is a safe place to talk about issues which impact GLBTQ students.
Safe Zone Training Dates
- Monday, Aug. 17th, 12:30 - 2:30pm
- Friday, Aug. 21st, 10am - 12:00pm
