Our Team
Our Board Members
Our Board is made up entirely of volunteers. As a working board, our Board Members are not only responsible for determining the strategic plans for accomplishing our Mission, they are the ones executing those plans. In addition to monthly board meetings, they volunteer their time on at least one of the GLSEN Arizona working committees, oftentimes even chairing those committees. The most vocal GLSEN Arizona ambassadors, the Board donates their time, talents, and treasure to ensure schools are a safer place for LGBTQ+ students.
I think that any youth-serving organization should be youth-driven, and so I appreciate seeing folks who were involved when they were in high school come back after high school and get involved again.

The SHINE Team
The SHINE Team is GLSEN Arizona's very own high school leadership development program. Our SHINE Leaders represent high schools all across the Valley and identities all across the LGBTQ+ community. We believe in empowering youth with the tools for success and then letting them lead. In addition to planning student events and undergoing leadership training throughout the school year, our SHINE Leaders also serve on at least one GLSEN Arizona working committee, contributing their voices and ideas while also learning practical skills.
