Pride @ Dickinson: Safe Zone Program


Creating an Inclusive Community Together

The Pride @ Dickinson Safe Zone Program seeks to create a safer and more inclusive campus environment for all members of the campus community by reducing heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. Through the training program and the display of Pride @ Dickinson stickers, the program creates a visible and supportive network of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and ally members of the campus community who have a basic knowledge about issues of sexual orientation and gender identity and are able to provide support and referrals to members of the campus community.

 

Training Expectations and Outcomes:

Pride @ Dickinson Safe Zone trainings are composed of two required sessions – each lasting 1.5 hours (total training is 3 hours), and discuss a variety of topics that will help you become a better ally and support to members of the LGBTQQI community.

After attending the Pride @Dickinson Safe Zone trainings, participants will be able to:

  •  Define and describe common concepts and language relating to sexuality and gender identity
  •  Explore the experience of homophobia, heterosexism and genderism
  •  Identify specific actions to create welcoming, affirming and inclusive space for people marginalized by their sexuality and/or gender identity
  • Display the Pride @ Dickinson symbols - inclusive of program signs and buttons as well as be listed on our resource page
