LGBTQIA+ Safe Zone Project Resource Guide: A Community Manual for Local & National Queer Resources

INTRODUCTION TO THIS GUIDE Dear El Camino College Students, Staff, Faculty & Community, We understand that our students navigate multiple roles and identities while on their educational journey. They may encounter challenges that could potentially impede their success at El Camino and beyond. As a result, the LGBTQIA+ Safe Zone Project Committee was inspired to create a guide that includes local and national resources for our LGBTQIA+ students, staff, administrators and the community.

This guide is dedicated to providing you with information on free and lowcost resources on a range of Lesbian, Gay, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Asexual + (LGBTQIA+) services. It also functions as an educational tool when interacting with members of this community. We hope that this manual will serve as a starting point in understanding and addressing the needs of our queer student population and allies who may be unsure of where to begin their search for access to tailored resources.

As we work towards embracing and respecting our similarities and differences, we hope to promote an inclusive campus community with equitable outcomes for all.

With love and solidarity, The LGBTQIA+ Safe Zone Project Committee
