Educating for Equality
The purpose of the LGBTQ Center Safe Zone program is to create a network of allies for individuals who may be marginalized on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression. All UNC-Chapel Hill faculty, staff, and students are eligible to become Safe Zone trainees. Training sessions take place several times a semester, and customized Safe Zone trainings can be scheduled with the LGBTQ Center on behalf of any department, group, or organization.

The UNC LGBTQ Center invites the campus community to gather for our 2025 Transgender Day of Remembrance vigil: Light the Way. Each year on November 20, TDOR calls us to honor the lives of transgender and gender-diverse people lost to violence and to affirm our shared commitment to building a more caring future. The vigil will include an open-mic for poetry, reflection, and spoken word; a letter-writing station where participants can send messages of support to trans people through Point of Pride; and a luminary station to honor the lives of transgender and gender-diverse people lost to violence in the past year. We are currently seeking student open-mic submissions for the event as well!
