ACCREDITED CHAPTER SINCE 2011.
Tennessee Chapter
Community-led chapters supporting students and teachers.
Our Chapter
GLSEN Tennessee is a chapter of GLSEN, a national organization fighting for every student’s right to a safe, supportive education.
GLSEN Tennessee 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.
Explore our website to find out more about our work here in Tennessee and to learn about how you can get involved in local and national events.
Our Team
Our chapter continues to grow across Tennessee, activating leaders of all ages in their own communities as champions for LGBTQ+ issues in K-12 education. Supporting teachers, engaging students, and advocating for protective policies statewide requires a lot of dedication from our volunteers.
