Welcome to The Make It Safe Project!
Many young lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) teens only hear the word “gay” when it is used to mean “bad,” as in the phrase, “That’s so gay.” Schools rarely have books about being LGBT and most health curricula overlook LGBT relationships, sending a message to their LGBT students that they are not worth as much as their straight peers.

What do we do?
Giving: We donate books to schools and youth homeless shelters nationwide.
Support: If you are wondering what starting, leading, or joining a Gay-Straight Alliance would be like, you can browse through stories written by teens about their experiences.
Advice: If you have experience with GSAs, you can anonymously submit a story about your experience to amelia@makeitsafeproject.org with the subject line, “Story.”
