Register for the event

Submit a Workshop

Mayor Michelle Wu and the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ+ Advancement present Amplify GSA, a collaboration with the Boston Celtics. We're promoting, supporting, and protecting Genders and Sexualities Alliances (GSA) in Boston schools.

LGBTQ+ Advancement is developing relationships with schools across the City. We want to learn about what LGBTQ+ students need to feel more supported in their school. AmplifyGSA builds connections across differences by engaging with LGBTQ+ youth and their allies, teachers, school administrators, and families.

Genders and Sexualities Alliances, or GSAs for short, are student-run school groups. They unite LGBTQ+ and allied youth. The goal is to build community and organize around issues impacting them in their schools and communities. These groups are legally protected in Massachusetts. GSA has historically been known as "Gay-Straight Alliance." However, the newer, more inclusive terminology is “Genders and Sexualities Alliance.”
