Letter From GLSEN Kansas City
GLSEN Kansas City (GLSEN-KC) is a chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). We center our attention on communities in the Greater Kansas City area in Missouri and Kansas, but we also reach out to communities as far away as Springfield, MO as well as Manhattan and Wichita, KS.
Nationally, GLSEN works to ensure safe schools for ALL students, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. There are over 40 Chapters around the country, which work closely with the national staff of GLSEN to implement programs, and to keep national staff informed of local events.
GLSEN-KC, like all GLSEN chapters, plays an important role in bringing GLSEN's programs and visions to its local community and like most GLSEN chapters, GLSEN-KC is entirely volunteer-based. We are always looking for new volunteers to help us ensure safe schools for all students. Locally, the work that we do covers a variety of subjects and issues, from public policy to teacher training to supporting students and educators in the Heart of America. We cooperate with other organizations that have similar missions to help ensure safe schools for all students.
Please explore our website to find out more about our work here in the Greater Kansas City area and to learn about the ways you can involve yourself in local and national events. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions that are not answered on this site. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you.
