Lake Forest College
Ally Program Mission Statement

October 15, 2005

imageThe Ally Program provides highly visible, on-campus safe spaces for personal support for members of the college community who experience prejudice and marginalization.  Allies are students, faculty, and staff who value equal and inclusive treatment of all people.

Program Description

The Ally Program involves students, faculty, and staff who have had specialized training to be a resource and support for all members of the Lake Forest College community.  After completing training, Allies will have a symbol (sticker, placard, etc,) placed in their area of residence (students) or work (faculty/staff) that will identify them as individuals who have special skills and training around issues of culture and diversity, and as individuals who are well versed with a wide variety of College resources.
