GLSEN is a brand committed to creating a better world for LGBTQ students in K-12 schools.

They also prioritize student-led movements, such as the Day of Silence and Ally Week, which empower young people to effect change.

Through extensive research, GLSEN develops evidence-based solutions for K-12 education and provides developmentally appropriate resources for educators to use. They also advocate for comprehensive policies that protect LGBTQ students and students from marginalized identities, actively fighting discriminatory legislation. With a national network of 43 chapters in 30 states, GLSEN ensures access to schools and districts across the country, reaching every student.

Their goal is to transform K-12 schools into safe and affirming environments by eliminating bullying and harassment. With over 1. 5 million members and hundreds of thousands of resource downloads each year, GLSEN is making a significant impact on LGBTQ students' lives
