Knight Allies is for students, especially those who DO NOT identify as GLBTQ, who are committed to creating a better community for UCF's GLBTQ students (in other words, our straight allies). They are the "A" in GLBTQA! Allies advocate for the elimination of homophobia and for the inclusion of GLBTQ students on campus.

ALLIES VISION & MISSION

VISION: To create a culture where all people are treated fairly regardless of their perceived or actual gender identity and expression; and their perceived or actual sexual orientation; and will feel accepted, affirmed and nurtured at UCF.

MISSION: To be the student ALLY voice for eliminating prejudice, heterosexism, and homophobia at UCF, and to help create an affirming environment for the GLBTQ community through support, activism, and action.
GOALS:

• Create a GLBTQ student ALLY advocacy network.
• Support the ALLIES vision and mission by participating/co-facilitating in the GLBTQ education of the UCF campus through Allies Advances and other workshops.
• Become involved in advocacy projects related to GLBTQ issues on campus, statewide, and nationally.
• Support the mission of the GLBSU by joining with their advocacy projects and events.

This is a great opportunity for students who are interested in social justice and advocacy issues. The Allies program will allow students to get involved with issues that impact the GLBTQ community at UCF as well as gain great presentation and advocacy experience.
