What LGBT Students Want You To Know

Imani and Ilayha are speaking out. And Teach For America is proud to support them. We believe that all kids should have access to a safe and affirming school environment.

Unfortunately, many don't right now.

Did you know that LGBT youth are more than two times as likely as non-LGBT youth to say they have been verbally harassed, and twice as likely to say they have been physically assaulted, kicked or shoved at school?

Worse yet, LGBT youth are more likely than non-LGBT youth to report that they do not have an adult they can talk to about personal problems.

Teach For America refuses to let a student's sexuality limit their opportunities for success.

If you agree, speak up by signing and sharing our pledge. Our goal is 25,000 signatures by the time school starts this fall. Show our students that you want them to feel safe at school.
