Safe Zone Training

SafeZone creates a network of allies who promote a campus environment that is open and welcoming to all LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff at UNC Greensboro.

UNC Greensboro offers two Safe Zone models, one for faculty, staff, and graduate assistants, and one for students. We understand that some of you might identify with two or more of these, but encourage you to select the one that best describes your primary role at UNC Greensboro.

UNC Greensboro’s Student Safe Zone Training is called “So You Want to be an Ally?”, and consists of a two-hour workshop. Students are then encouraged to expand on their knowledge by engaging in programs offered by the Office of Intercultural Engagement, joining a student organization that belongs to our Intercultural Leadership Council, or considering a student leadership position within our office.

UNC Greensboro’s Faculty/Staff Safe Zone Training consists of three individual 3-hour workshops, titled: Safe Zone 1.0, Safe Zone 2.0, and Trans Zone. Each workshop builds upon knowledge gained from the previous workshop. After completing all three workshops, participants will receive a sticker as an outward display of their commitment to inclusion. Individuals who complete the program and want to become a facilitator have the option to attend an additional 1-hour Train the Trainer workshop with an OIE staff member.
