All of the proceeds from Rise Up merchandise go toward creating safe and inclusive school environments for LGBTQ+ students.
Here are a couple of ways the dollars from each purchase are put into action: - Inclusive Programming for LGBTQ+ students: Each year we work hard to create comprehensive programs that engage and uplift LGBTQ+ young people at a time when they need it most.
-
Advocating for Supportive Policies: Our policy team puts in an incredible amount of work advocating for supportive and inclusive local and national government policies that protect and support LGBTQ+ students.
-
Supporting GLSEN Chapters: Our 41 chapters throughout the country provide on-the-ground support to ensure that the LGBTQ+ students in their local network have the resources they need to thrive.
-
Resources for Supportive Educators: Just one visibly supportive educator in a school can help LGBTQ+ students feel safer and more seen. GLSEN provides training and resources to educators for implementing a more inclusive curriculum.
We hope you will join us in Rising Up for LGBTQ+ Youth today! In solidarity, Melanie Willingham-Jaggers
