Safe Space

The Emory Safe Space program is an optional 3.5-hour training designed to help faculty, staff, and students provide support for the LGBT community at Emory. Participants who complete the training will be better equipped to help our undergraduate and graduate students achieve success.

 

Safe Space Training Registration


Safe Space training is a great way to learn how to better support students and coworkers. By completing the training, you signal to students and colleagues that you are committed to supporting the LGBTQ community.

Safe Space trainings are offered once per month. We also offer trainings outside of that for groups of eight or more people. For more information about when the trainings are scheduled this semester and how to register, visit our registration section on this page.

Thank you for your interest in our Safe Trainings. Please register via the Emory Learning Management System.

Once there, search the catalog for Safe Space (legacy course number 247000), and the available sessions will be listed. Select the session you would like to register for, and click "Register". You will receive a confirmation email as well as a reminder email two days before your training.

We accept applications for new facilitators each spring and summer, and you can view the position description here.
