Safe Zone is a volunteer 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.
Safe Zone is a voluntary organization of allies in the JMU community who 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.
Direct workshop questions to Bethany Bryson, but please be patitnet with us. We are not an office of the university; we have no staff and no budget.
