Massachusetts Chapter
Community-led chapters supporting students and teachers.
Our Chapter
GLSEN Massachusetts is a chapter of GLSEN, a national organization fighting for every student’s right to a safe, supportive education.
GLSEN Massachusetts is a grassroots initiative, working locally in our community to ensure safe schools for all students, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. There are 43 Chapters around the country doing this important work. Join us today!
Our chapter supports students and educators locally, organizes around LGBTQ-affirming public policy, plans teacher trainings, and hosts events for students, educators, parents, and allies. Chapters like ours play an important role in bringing GLSEN’s programs and visions to right where we live, work, and learn. While some chapters have full-time or part-time staff, most are entirely volunteer-based. We're always looking for new volunteers to help us ensure safe schools for all students.

LGBTQ+ Youth Virtual Support Calendar
GLSEN Massachusetts is a chapter of GLSEN, a national organization fighting for every student’s right to a safe, supportive education.
As we move into a period of supporting students in creative ways, many organizations are offering virtual meetings as a way for young people to connect. With all the information released daily, it can be hard to keep track of what's happening when and what support would work best for oneself. GLSEN MA has compiled a living calendar of meetings being held for LGBTQ+ and allied students by orgs across the state of Massachusetts. These virtual meetings range from informational workshops to identity based social groups. We hope to continue adding to and updating this calendar in the coming weeks. If you’d like to contribute, please email us at massachusetts@chapters.glsen.org
