California gsa support & youth leadership training - this program coordinates the Network of Genders & Sexualities Alliance (gsa) clubs in California middle schools and high schools and provides leadership training to the youth members of gsa clubs. Program activities include providing technical assistance, materials, and staff support to students seeking to establish new gsa clubs or develop existing ones; putting students whose gsas or schools are facing similar challenges in contact with one another; and organizing networking opportunities such as conferences or regular meetings for gsa activists. Gsa Network staff members provide follow-up support and coaching to trained youth leaders who organize grassroots campaigns for change in individual schools or districts.
