Not every school is fortunate enough to have a gay straight alliance (GSA). Even if there is a GSA in place at a school, not every student who would like to attend will be able to, feel safe to, etc.

In response to this need, Live Out Loud has developed a resource to help youth start their own GSAs outside of school. Any time a two or more LGBTQ and Allied youth come together it can be considered a GSA. We want these youth to have the help they need to jumpstart their own GSA!

Each of the “inspiration packets” below will include an action for youth to do during their meeting and prompts to help start a discussion. These packets are fun, adaptable, and informal ways to challenge your friends to talk about important issues!
