The Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity provides many ways that students can get involved during their time here at University Park and across the Commonwealth.
Queer Voices Peer Education Program
Peer educators share their challenges and successes of identity development to educate others about the LGBTQ+ community, raise awareness about LGBTQ+ issues, develop professional presentation and training skills, and improve the student experience for all. Peer educators participate in panels, program presentations, and facilitation of events.
Part-Time Student Staff Opportunities
The purpose of the student staff program in the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity is to give students the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience, and collaborate with diverse populations of students, faculty, and staff. These positions work to increase involvement and to enhance students’ collegiate experience by supporting the initiatives of the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity.
LGBTQ+ Student Organizations
There are numerous recognized student organizations at Penn State serving LGBTQ+ students. Learn about each one and the mission that guides them in their work.
Out & Engaged Experiences
The CSGD hosts trips focused on engaging students in different facets of LGBTQ+ life and culture. Trips expose students to the wider LGBTQ+ community, as well as encourage personal growth, promote civic engagement, and enrich the lives of participants.
