Safe Zone is a voluntary organization.

We do not offer mandatory training to JMU offices. If you are seeking educational materials for a class, please reference that in your course goals and/or catalog description, then send your syllabus to brysonbp@jmu.edu for assistance.


Please be gentle with us. There are thousands of you and only a few of us. We are not an office of the university; we have no staff and no budget. We are just a few volunteers from around the university who are already fully employed and over-committed in our day jobs. We are, however, grateful for the support of the student educators who are willing to share their experiences to help us all learn and grow. (Round of applause for our panelists!)

Safe Zone is a voluntary organization of allies in the JMU community, and we each participate with Safe Zone for our own individual reasons (moral obligations, empathy for others, disciplinary ethical responsibilities, etc.). All views expressed in our capacities as Safe Zone members are our own and do not necessarily represent the views of James Madison University or any other organization.
