Workshops on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex community
The RCSGD offers educational workshops to groups, offices, organizations, and departments at UCSB. The campus environment is not always positive for community members who are not heterosexual or who do not conform to society’s expectations of gender. As a unified campus we aim to make UCSB a safer and more welcoming place for all diversities of gender and sexuality.
Workshops can be scheduled by contacting the RCSGD/LGBT Resources at 805-893-5847 or

Safe Zone Part I and II
Safe Zone training provides basic information and discussion on issues
LGBTQI community members might face as well as how individuals can best
advocate for this population. The sessions can range from 60 to 120
minutes and can be divided into two parts. The extended versions allow
more time for reflection, group discussion, and action planning.

Safe Zone - Intersex
Safe Zone-Intersex is a follow up workshop to the basic Safe
Zone training and provides more details about people with intersex
conditions as well as effective ways to support the community as an
individual and as an institution. The Safe Zone-Intersex is 45-60
minutes in length.

Safe Zone - Transgender
Safe Zone-Transgender is a follow up workshop to the basic Safe Zone
training and provides more details about transgender communities as well
as effective ways to support the community as an individual and as an
institution. Although campus climate has been improving for the LGBTQI
community as a whole, transgender people still face far more hate,
discrimination, and exclusion than other groups within the LGBTQI
community. The Safe Zone-Transgender workshop is 45-60 minutes in
length.

Intervening as a Friend
Unfortunately hate crimes, hate incidents, and bias related incidents
still occur often at UCSB and those affected the most are often LGBTQI
people. The Bystander Intervention workshop provides people the basic
skills necessary to intervene in a situation and/or respond to a
survivor of an incident. The Bystander Intervention workshops can be
60-90 minutes in length and include basic knowledge, discussion, case
studies, and applications.
