Safe Zone Ally training session set for April

The Safe Zone Program provides a visible network of volunteers for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other individuals seeking information and assistance regarding sexual orientation, gender identity, harassment and/or discrimination. Safe Zone Allies will participate in a two-hour training session and will commit to the Safe Zone program mission. Once training and commitment are completed, Safe Zone Allies will be identified by a Coastal Carolina University Safe Zone logo placed on each ally’s door and/or backpack.

For more information, consult the Safe Zone website at www.coastal.edu/safezone
