Creating Safer and Supportive Schools

What is at GSA?

GSA can stand for Gender & Sexualities Alliance, Gay-Straight Alliance, or refer to a Queer-Straight Alliance, Pride Club, or Rainbow Club. Any LGBTQIA+ student groups are eligible to be included in the Ohio GSA Network!

Who is in a GSA?

LGBTQIA+ students, friends, and adult allies in middle and high schools across Ohio. These student-led clubs are leading the way to making schools inclusive and safe for all students. 

What are the benefits of a GSA?

According to GLSEN:

• LGBTQIA+ students in schools with GSAs are less likely to feel unsafe at school and more likely to feel connected to their school community.
• Students in schools with GSAs are less likely to drop-out, experience depression, and more likely to attend college.
