About Us

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.
Thanks for visiting the webpage for the Omaha Chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN Omaha). We primarily support efforts in and around the greater Omaha area to further education and policies which reflect safe and welcoming school environments for all students, regardless of real or perceived sexual orientation and/or gender identity and/or expression.

At a national level, GLSEN works to ensure safe schools through school resource support, advocacy, and education. Chapters exist throughout the country, which work closely with the national staff of GLSEN to implement programs and affect positive change in school communities. The work that chapters do directly influences the ability for schools to be safe, welcoming and equitable. Our organization believes and advocates for the rights of ALL students to receive an education free of bullying and harassment.

Chapters like ours play an important role in bringing GLSEN's programs and vision to our local school communities. While some chapters have full-time or part-time employees, we are a board of volunteers. We're always looking for new board members, volunteers, and/or allies to help us ensure safe schools for all students. Please inquire for opportunities.

Letter From GLSEN Omaha
GLSEN Omaha is excited to announce the beginning of its own local Jump Start Student Leadership Team. This team will consist of 5-20 dedicated local middle/high school student leaders who want to affect positive change in their school communities in favor of safe schools for ALL students. Please inquire via email if you would like an application to join this exciting team as we prepare for the new school year!

At this time we are searching for volunteers and Board members that are current or future educators/administrators or high school students.
