What is at GSA?

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.
