Welcome!

After much deliberation, meeting with students, faculty and staff to ask questions and gauge what education would be most supportive on U of A's campus, The LGBTQ+2S Resource Center has re-designed our Safe Zone program to meet the University of Arizona's campus community members' need for institutional support in moving people on campus into action. With an all new curriculum, the Solidarity Coalition trainings address what active solidarity with LGBTQ+2S people and communities looks like in practice. By participating in a training, you and your peers can become part of the coalition to change the material conditions for queer and trans people on campus and Southern Arizona.  Please see the details below on how to get signed up for our new training program:
