Join Our Board!

Are you passionate about education, advocacy for LGTBTQ+ youth, and supporting teachers to ensure that their classrooms are safe, brave spaces for ALL kids? If so, consider joining the Safe Schools NC Board!!

Safe Schools NC is a volunteer-led 501c(3) non-profit committed to creating safe and positive learning environments for all students in NC with a focus on sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, particularly through educating educators. Our primary lever for living out this mission is to support teachers from across the state at our annual SafeSchoolsNC LGBTQ conference, to spread awareness through a partnership with local organizations, and collaboration with school districts. We are looking for dedicated, passionate, talented leaders to join this work!

Because we are a volunteer board, we seek applicants who can commit between 3-6 hours a month* to do this work. Our biggest priorities include planning our annual conference, a spring event for educators, and fundraising, as well as occasional tabling at community events that complement our organizational mission.
