Dear Safe Schools Coalition Members and Friends:
(1) HELP STILL NEEDED: 2 VOLUNTEERS to help staff this listserv
(2) HELP NEEDED: LGBTQ YOUTH - SPEAK OUT ABOUT YOUR SCHOOL EXPERIENCES!
****************************************
(1) HELP STILL NEEDED: 2 VOLUNTEERS to help staff this listserv
You can live anywhere in the world with email access. You need 1-2 hours a week (2-4 at first until you got the hang of it and then 1-2 after that). So if it would be fun for you helping keep this important service alive by sending weekly Jobs Digests
or monthly Lesson Planning Guides, we need you. If you like the idea of providing tools to people in isolated, sometimes very hostile parts of the country and the world, this is the volunteer gig for you. If you want to be able to work from home, in your pajamas,
while nibbling on bonbons, this is the gig for you. If you want to serve social justice as you build your resume or get service learning credit, this is your gig.
*************
(2) HELP NEEDED: LGBTQ YOUTH - SPEAK OUT ABOUT YOUR SCHOOL EXPERIENCES!
Help GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) inform education policymakers and the public about what’s really going on in our nation’s schools by completing the 2011 National School Climate Survey, GLSEN’s seventh national survey about
the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer youth in school.
If you attended high school or middle school sometime during the last school year (2010-2011) and are at least 13 years old, tell us about your experiences in school. (If you did not complete the entire school year you can still participate in the survey.)
The survey is anonymous.
