The GLSEN Jump-Start Guide!
GLSEN’s student organizing team has created this resource to support new and established Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) and similar groups that are working to make schools safer and more inclusive for all students. We’ve been hearing from many organizers that they need concrete ideas for building, shaping and activating their groups, and that’s what this guide is all about. It takes you through the process of establishing your student club, identifying your mission and goals, assessing your school’s climate, and engaging in projects and activities throughout the year. It also offers resources for further exploration.

This guide consists of eight self-contained sections; all are designed to help you // jump-start // —or bring fresh and creative energy to—your student club.
