Describe the Organization's Mission:

Part 3 - Line 1

GLSEN IS DEDICATED TO ENDING THE VICTIMIZATION OF LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER, AND QUESTIONING (LGBTQ) YOUTH IN K-12 SCHOOLS BECAUSE NO YOUNG PERSON SHOULD HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THEIR WELLBEING AND AN EDUCATION. 57.6% OF LGBTQ YOUTH FEEL UNSAFE AT SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER EXPRESSION, OR GENDER IDENTITY AND, AS A RESULT, ARE LESS LIKELY TO REACH THEIR FULL ACADEMIC OR PERSONAL POTENTIAL. GLSEN'S PROGRAMS, CAMPAIGNS, AND INITIATIVES IMPROVE EDUCATION EXPERIENCES AND LIFE OUTCOMES FOR MARGINALIZED STUDENTS BY CLEARING A PATH TO LEADERSHIP, TRANSFORMING THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS, AND ENSURING THAT ALL STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO AN EDUCATION IN A SAFE, INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT, FREE FROM HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION. SINCE 1990, GLSEN HAS MEASURABLY IMPROVED SCHOOL CLIMATE FOR LGBTQ STUDENTS IN THE US, AND REDUCED THE DISCRIMINATION THEY FACE IN OUR SCHOOLS, WHILE INSPIRING AND SUSTAINING THE GROWTH OF GLOBAL SAFE SCHOOLS MOVEMENT. PLEASE JOIN US IN THIS WORK.
