Rainbow Mentors Program
Our LGBTQ+ students need and deserve LGBTQ+ role models. With safe and supportive teaching internships, we can help ensure that new LGBTQ+ educators have a welcoming entry into the teaching profession.
Through our new Rainbow Mentors Program, the Health Education Office partners with local teacher preparation programs to place LGBTQ+ teacher candidates with LGBTQ+ mentor teachers.
If you are a teacher educator working in an accredited teacher preparation program, please contact the Health Education Office to learn more about finding supportive placements for your queer and trans candidates.
