Grantee Spotlight – Texas

These students in Texas taught teachers about LGBTQ+ issues!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Using one of our 50 States 50 Grants, these students in Texas reestablished their dormant GSA club and organized student-led teacher training sessions so that teachers can learn how to better support their LGBTQ+ students! THAT’S how we make it better on the ground for students at school every day.

One student said, “The GSA gave me a place to feel like I am part of a greater community.”

Another said, “Seeing how our school’s community supported us was truly inspiring. I really felt like we were able to make a difference, especially when we did teacher training at some of the high schools. Teachers would come up to us with all sorts of questions on how to support their LGBTQ+ students. We had genuine conversations that I believe will have a lasting impact on our teachers and students.” 💜
