in school:
Project Equal. Washburn University's Gay/Straight Alliance. This website is greatly outdated, so it would be better to just email Travis for current info. Meetings and social events are announced on the STEY "What's Happening" page currently.
Other Gay/Straight Alliances: The following high schools have GSAs at this time: Topeka High School, Topeka West High School, and Washburn Rural High School. STEY has information on how to get in touch with your high school's GSA if your school has one. Don't have one in your school? We can help you figure out how to start one! (Big hint: Go to the GLSEN website.)
