Ally Training

Participation in the Safe Zone Program is voluntary. The Safe Zone Program makes no assumptions regarding the reasons people choose not to participate. Publicity about the program clearly describes allies as persons who have chosen to be identified and available as resources to offer confidential support, respect, assistance, and accurate information related to LGBTQ issues and concerns.

The UA Safe Zone Program is an established, visible network of trained faculty, staff, and students who provide confidential support, assistance, and reliable information to other faculty, staff, and students regarding issues related to sexual orientation and gender expression. Following the training, participants who agree to be allies are identified by a Safe Zone decal displayed on their office doors.

Based on UA's commitment to the value of diversity, the training for the UA Safe Zone Program is provided by the Safe Zone committee, comprised of faculty, staff and students.
