Safe Zone

The SF State Safe Zone program is a work in progress. A pilot training occurred on 12/15/2011 and the committee is working in the spring 2012 semester to further develop the training for a potential fall 2012 launch to the entire campus community. If you are interested in learning more about the Safe Zone program and/or getting involved, please email pride@sfsu.edu.

Safe Zone Mission

In the spirit of San Francisco State University’s commitment to social justice and equity, the mission of the Safe Zone is to foster a safe campus environment through building a support network for people of all gender and sexual identities.

The Safe Zone is a voluntary program of trained faculty, staff, and administrators. A person displaying the program symbol has completed a training to develop a greater awareness of issues affecting students of all genders and sexual identities and anyone negatively impacted by heterosexism and homophobia. Those who are trained have agreed to be active, visible, and supportive allies. Any individual seeking help can talk to a Safe Zone person in a safe, confidential, and supportive environment.
