GSA Network

GSA clubs, or GSAs for short, are student-run organizations that unite LGBTQ+ and allied youth to build community and organize around issues impacting them in their schools and communities. All youth interested in creating or joining a virtual LGBTQ+ youth space may register to join their network and receive resources and news on training opportunities! You do not need to be part of a school GSA club to register with them.
