LGBTQ+ College Student Guide
LGBTQ+ students have a significant presence on college campuses. In 2018, an Association of American Universities survey of over 180,000 university students found that 16.9% of students identify as non-heterosexual. While many colleges try to make their campuses welcoming to LGBTQ students, their success rate varies. If you’re a prospective college student who identifies as LGBTQ+, it’s important that you research schools to make sure they’ve created a supportive environment. In this guide, you’ll learn how to research colleges and review additional topics such as the unique challenges LGBTQ students face and the resources and legal rights available to them.

Resource Guide for Educators, Administrators, Youth Workers & Students
The LGBTQ Fund wishes to promote inclusive academic environments for LGBTQ students. In an effort to engage local organizations toward that goal, an Education Working Group (EWG) was formed. The first meeting of the EWG was held on August 28, 2019. The group collected a list of community resources for educators, administrators, youth workers and students. The resources were compiled to create this booklet. It is our desire to continue to identify resources to support inclusive education and enhance this Resource Guide. Please contact the LGBTQ Fund to request additions.
