Volunteer with Safe Schools Coalition!

June, 2004, Seattle: A high school drama troupe (shown here) did
a performance of the Laramie Project, followed by a Q & A time.
The proceeds went to Safe Schools Coalition.
Your drama class or choir or band could do the same!

Become a fundraiser ... Do you appreciate the Coalition's advocacy, training and intervention services, resources, website and mailing lists? Want to help us keep that work going? Great! Donate time on a one-time basis organizing a yard sale, a bake sale, a house party, 5-K run/walk or other event to raise funds to help the Coalition; or help us find and apply for grants.

Contact our Development Director -- Kathy Sakahara: http://www.safeschoolscoalition.org/contactus/2

Become a speaker/trainer or an outreach volunteer/tabler ... Plan and co-facilitate workshops for non-profit agencies, youth and other community members on LGBTQ issues. Volunteers should have previous experience speaking in front of audiences, an anti-oppression framework, general knowledge of LGBT and safe schools issues, a flexible work schedule, and willingness to work with other speakers. Help students, teachers and parents access Safe Schools Coalition trainings, technical assistance and intervention services by representing the Coalition tabling at health fairs, school and community events and Pride celebrations! We can't get the word out without you!
