Supporting Students ~ Saving Lives - 3rd Annual National Educator Conference

According to recent data, nine out of ten LGBT youth were harassed at school and have a drop out rate nearly three times the national average. When students don’t feel safe, they are less likely to learn and more likely to give up on school altogether. For the past two and a half years, CESCaL has brought together national leaders in education and LGBT experts to empower and teach educators the attitudes, knowledge, and skills necessary to create needed change in schools.
