This page was last updated on 09/16/08.Who?
Everyone is welcome -- students, school employees, parents/guardians, community agencies, and individual community members. ALL AGES WELCOME. You don't need to be a member to attend a Coalition meeting. It's not a "board" meeting; as always, it's an everybody meeting.
Why?
Come meet others who care about GLBTIQ youth and schools. Your energy and ideas are REALLY needed. Learn about projects that need volunteers. Help decide where the Coalition should be putting its energies. And you almost always come away with cool freebies. It's a chance to network and share what your organization or school is up to, to pick the brains of colleagues about challenges you face, and also to be a part of the exciting work of the Coalition. If you would like to read minutes from our past meetings, see them here.
When?
The Safe Schools Meetings are usually on the third Tuesday every month at Planned Parenthood on Capitol Hill in Seattle. (Directions are below.) Semiannual Saturday meetings will be at other locations. And note that we meet earlier during the summer when school is out.
Contact the chair if you have agenda items to suggest or if you need instructions about attending (in person) or calling in (by conference call).
Dates and times may be tentative - please check back close to the month of the meeting to be sure it hasn't changed.
