Future of Pride

Our Resources and Activities

For the past 30 years, GLSEN has been the leader in providing students, educators, administrators, parents, and supporters valuable resources and activities to promote LGBTQ+ inclusive and safe, K-12 schools. From curriculum-based resources that help shape the lessons educators teach, to student-centered resources during a day of action such as our annual Day Of Silence, we’re constantly creating and updating our resources to stay relevant for the classroom

Here are some of our Resources and Activities for you to take a look at:

2021 National School Climate Survey

The 2021 National School Climate Survey is GLSEN's twelfth national survey of LGBTQ+ youth. It is a crucial tool in GLSEN's mission for fighting anti-LGBTQ+ bias in K-12 schools across the nation.

The information gathered from this survey will help GLSEN inform education policymakers and the public about the right of all students to be treated with respect in their schools. Many students in the past have also used the survey information to advocate with their teachers and principals for safer schools for LGBTQ+ students.

Who can take the survey

If you attended high school or middle school sometime during the last school year (2020-2021), identify as LGBTQ+, and are at least 13 years old, tell us about your experiences in school! You are eligible to take this survey if you attended school online, or in person, or a combination of the two. You are also eligible even if you attended school for only part of the year. The survey is completely anonymous.

The survey asks questions about your experiences in school, including hearing homophobic remarks, being harassed because of your sexual orientation and/or how you express your gender, and how supportive your school is of LGBTQ+ students.

Give OUT Day 2021 - June 30, 2021

Give OUT Day is the only national day of giving for the LGBTQ community, raising $6+ million for 700+ LGBTQ organizations since 2013. Hosted by Horizons Foundation, the world’s first LGBTQ community foundation, Give OUT Day supports diverse LGBTQ organizations – from community centers to advocacy groups, arts groups to sports leagues – in all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico.

On June 30, 2021, Horizons Foundation will host a 24-hour giving event encouraging charitable donations through their online giving platform GiveOUTDay.org. Individuals will be able to donate money to the nonprofit organizations of their choice. The nonprofit will receive contact information for each donor unless the donor elects to remain anonymous.

Give OUT Day is a proven opportunity for GLSEN Chapters to raise funds on a grassroots level. Our chapters that have been the most successful leverage their personal networks on social media to encourage their friends, family, and chapter supporters to donate to their local work on the ground.

Rainbow Graduation serves as an opportunity to honor students in a way they might not have been in the traditional ceremony. i.e. Correct name and pronouns read allowed when given a certificate. We also recognize and celebrate that every student’s post-graduation path looks different.

This year was a whole lot of twists and turns for most of you. But with every obstacle, you were able to tackle them and succeed. To the Class of 2021, we congratulate you and we cannot wait to see what your next chapter looks like. Don't just sparkle . . . but continue to GLSEN with Pride!
