GLSEN Jump-Start Guide for GSAs

GLSEN has created this resource for new and established Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) and similar clubs. The resource takes you through the process of establishing or re-establishing your group, identifying your mission and goals, and assessing your school’s climate. Jump-start your school and GSA, and create safer schools for all, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.

This guide consists of eight self-contained sections; all are designed to help you jump-start - or bring fresh and creative energy to - your student club. They are available as PDF files to download, in full color (high resolution, large file size) and black and white (low resolution, smaller file size).

Topics include: -Building and Activating Your GSA or Similar Student Club -Tips and Tools for Organizing an Action Campaign -Strategies for Training Teachers -Understanding Direct-Action Organizing -Examining Power, Privilege and Oppression -Creating Youth-Adult Partnerships -Making Your
Student Club Trans-Inclusive -Evaluation, Continuation, Celebration
