LGBTQ+

San José Unified is committed to creating a safe and supportive learning environment for every student. We recognize that students, especially adolescents, are going through significant development and transition that may impact their future well-being. The resources below are tools for students and families who are interested in finding local LGBTQ+ resources. Display of these resources does not imply endorsement by San José Unified.

Students who need support, please contact your site’s counselors or visit your school's website, under "Wellness Resources" if you need support. Wellness Centers, where available are an additional resource for students.
