The student engagement co-facilitator will be responsible for co-facilitating GLSEN's SHINE program, a youth leadership program made up of young people aged 13-19.
The GLSEN SHINE Team is a group of student leaders working to create safer schools and communities throughout Washington State. The team members meet regularly throughout the year to develop skills, form a network of other youth leaders, and organize programs in the community that promote respect for LGBTQ+ students.
The vision behind the SHINE Team is a belief that youth and students know what challenges they are facing better than anyone else, and, if youth are given all the resources that big organizations like GLSEN has to offer, they can tackle these problems better than any adult can.
Responsibilities include co-facilitating SHINE meetings every Sunday via Zoom from 4:30-600 PM PST, attending a weekly SHINE planning meeting, and creating curriculum for an estimated time commitment of 5-7 hours/week.
Must also pass a background check to work with youth. Volunteers must also attend a volunteer orientation.
Desired qualifications include experience working with youth, knowledge of the LGBTQ+ community, and general excitement about engaging young people in activism.

Mission Statement
GLSEN is the leading education organization creating safe and inclusive K-12 schools for all, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression.
Description
At GLSEN, we want every student, in every school, to be valued and treated with respect, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. We believe that all students deserve a safe and affirming school environment where they can learn and grow.
GLSEN Washington State provides training and resources to students, educators and community partners to make Washington schools more inclusive for all students.
GLSEN WA is a volunteer-run organization, meaning every success we have is credited to the dedication of our amazing volunteers. We would not be able to achieve our mission without the passion for equality that underlies the thousands of volunteer hours that are committed each year. It is thanks to their leadership that we are able to do what we do:
Provide resources to any educator or student in the state of Washington who requests one
Connect with students to build leadership opportunities
Provide Professional Development to Educators to make their schools more inclusive
Support districts with creating inclusive policies
Present an annual conference for educators and students to create space for learning, leading, and networking
