Join our SafeZone Train-the-Trainer Certification, a comprehensive and immersive program designed to cultivate confident, knowledgeable, and dynamic SafeZone facilitators. This advanced training equips participants with the skills, insight, and tools needed to build and sustain impactful SafeZone programs in schools, college campuses, workplaces, and everyday community spaces.

This certification goes beyond participation, you’ll step behind the curtain to learn exactly how our SafeZone program is facilitated. Through guided walkthroughs, practical demonstrations, and candid discussion, participants will explore how to effectively present activities, anticipate audience responses, support individuals at varying comfort levels, and gracefully navigate the inevitable challenges that arise during live trainings.

Throughout the workshop, participants will have ample opportunity for open Q&A in a supportive, judgment-free environment, learning directly from our team’s real-world experiences, lessons learned, and best practices so you can feel fully prepared and confident leading your own LGBTQ+ inclusion trainings.

Each participant will receive a 50+ page SafeZone Train-the-Trainer manual rooted in an intersectional framework, including:

• Suggested training outlines

• A curated bank of ready-to-use handouts

• An in-depth activities guide

• Hand-selected resources

• Facilitator guides

• Recommended readings

…along with our favorite tips and tricks to empower both you and your future SafeZone participants.

In addition, certified trainers will receive an official SafeZone Initiative sticker and lapel pin, a digital certificate, and three years of ongoing support, including assistance with training preparation and access to updated materials as the program continues to evolve.

Please Note: This is not a standard SafeZone training. Participants must be fully committed to LGBTQ+ equality and inclusion and should already possess a foundational understanding of LGBTQ+ terminology, barriers, and lived experiences
