mission of Safe Schools Coalition: An international
public-private partnership in support of gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender youth is to help schools - at home and all over the
world - become safe places where every family can belong, where
every educator can teach, and where every child can learn,
regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.
