The mission of the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition is to ensure that LGBT students from across Mississippi can attain a safe and high-quality education free of discrimination and bullying. We envision a Mississippi where students, regardless of real or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, have equal protections and the opportunity to grow and learn in a safe environment. We work to build the capacity of youth-serving professionals, champion inclusive and affirming public policies, and engage youth in a variety of programs and initiatives.
