The purpose of the Safe Zone Program at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is to create an affirming and supportive campus climate through identifying and educating members of our campus community who are opened to and supportive of all individuals regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

A Safe Zone Ally at UNC-Charlotte is an informed campus partner who has committed time and energy through organized training to learn more about individuals that may identify as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning or may be unsure of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The Safe Zone Symbol (pictured above) is a visible symbol of support and an affirmation of commitment by that individual to fight homophobia and heterosexism at UNC-Charlotte.

The Safe Zone Ally Moto:
I am committed to
respecting, accepting,
supporting, and listening.
I am here.
