The Safe Zone Project was created to address the concerns of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer community at Chicago State University and the surrounding community. The project is a source of outreach to LGBTQ+ students and welcome them to all areas of the CSU community. Safe Zones are located in areas on and around campus where faculty, staff and students provide support, information and work toward the elimination of myths, misconceptions, and stereotypes.

Safe Zone Mission Statement

By participating in the Safe Zone Project, one pledges that their Safe Zone is a place where lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender and queer people can:

• feel comfortable and safe in a confidential environment,
• express any issues and concerns in an atmosphere of acceptance and support, and
• access informational and educational resources including: organizations, phone numbers, websites, and books.
