LGBTQIA+ Students
At El Camino, we’re proud to have a welcoming and inclusive campus community that reflects the diversity of the South Bay and promotes equitable outcomes for all.
Connect with the LGBTQIA+ Community
El Camino College aims to provide equitable resources to celebrate and support our diverse student population. The LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Asexual +) Safe Zone Project was created to support the entire campus community and establish a robust network of advocates and allies.
By creating accessible resources that encompass physical, social, and emotional facets of sexual identity, El Camino College hopes to create a space where LGBTQIA+ members and their allies can work together toward building community on and off campus.
While this work is inspired by LGBTQIA+ experiences, it is created for the entire El Camino College community.
