It is that time of year again: our Glisten Northeast Ohio BACK-TO-SCHOOL CHALLENGE. Until September 30, Abercrombie & Fitch will DOUBLE your donations! All of the proceeds will go to Glisten Northeast Ohio so we can continue to host our annual Youth Conference and support GSAs and educators in schools. Due to current legislation, our work is more important than ever for today’s K-12 students. Please consider donating.

The Challenge — a music festival and fundraiser. Buy tickets, donate, and follow your progress.

Glisten's National School Climate Survey is open until September 30th for any students who were in school during the 25-26 school year!

This survey is about school experiences of youth who are LGBTQIA2S+ (le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, q***r, intersex, asexual, two spirit, and more) or questioning. The information shared will be used to work toward safe and affirming schools for LGBTQIA2S+ youth.

In this survey, we will ask questions about you, your school, and your experiences in school during the 2025-2026 school year. For example, some questions are about where you feel safe or unsafe at school, what you might look forward to at school, and your participation in extracurriculars.

Please share your voice!

The National School Climate Survey aims to capture the experiences of youth who are LGBTQIA2S+ or questioning in schools across the country.
