Meet Our Safe And Healthy Schools Team

Do you remember what school was like? Were you ever bullied? Experienced isolation? Never quite felt connected to your school or classmates? For many of us, that’s our experience too.

That’s why we started our Safe and Healthy Schools program: to help create a culture of inclusion within our schools — supporting teachers, administrators, and district staff — to adopt nationally recognized best practices for meeting the needs of LGBTQ students across Florida’s 67 school districts.

Ashley Paugh (35 years old).
Daniel Aston (28 years old).
Raymond Green Vance (22 years old).
Derrick Rump (38 years old).
Kelly Loving (40 years old).
