OUR MISSION

The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network strives to assure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.

GLSEN Northern Virginia is a chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).

GLSEN chapters are community-based groups of people accredited as a GLSEN chapter, who work to bring GLSEN’s programs and visions to their communities on a local level. They are supported in their work by the GLSEN National offices in New York City and Washington, DC.

There are currently almost 40 GLSEN chapters serving communities large and small around the country. Most chapters are volunteer-based, although a few have a full or part-time staff member.

Letter From GLSEN Northern Virginia

Chapters like ours play an important role in bringing GLSEN's programs and visions to local communities. While some chapters have full-time or part-time staff, most are entirely volunteer-based. We're always looking for new volunteers to help us ensure safe schools for all students.

Please explore our website to find out more about our work here in Northern Virginia and to learn about how you can get involved 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 you interest and we're looking forward to hearing from you.
