"Wouldn't it be great if there was a space at school where we
could teach everyone to love and support everyone for who
they are."- LGBTQIA+ 2nd Grade Student
APT Student Clubs in Elementary Schools and Beyond
APT Student Clubs are a safe and welcoming space where LGBTQIA+ and ALL students can come to be their true authentic selves while fostering allies.
APT Student Clubs bloomed after an LGBTQIA+ elementary aged student shared, "Wouldn't it be great if there was a space at school where we could teach everyone to love and support everyone for who they are."
APT Student Clubs are typically held during lunch time, sometimes after school. The clubs are student led, based on what direction the students want and need the club to be. Typically the club starts as a social and supportive setting and can mold into a civic engagement model. The Federal Equal Access Act supports these clubs on school campuses. The law is written for grades 7-12 and elementary schools are referencing it as well.
