The Center provides educational outreach, community support and crisis intervention resources for LGBTQIA+ members of The University of Alabama community and their allies. We offer help connecting people at UA to inclusive resources, provide training on LGBTQIA+ topics for UA students, faculty and staff, facilitate LGBTQIA+ community building programs on campus, and work to advocate LGBTQIA+ interests at UA.

The primary goal of the Safe Zone Resource Center is to foster a University climate where every individual is treated with dignity and respect by:

• educating the UA community about LGBTQIA+ identified persons and their experiences;

• promoting safe environments that are respectful of all identities;

• advocating for support of LGBTQIA+ identified persons; and

• providing services and resources to UA’s LGBTQIA+ community.
