Boston University Athletics Athlete Ally Mission: Founded in 2017, our student-led chapter fosters an inclusive environment for LGBTQIA+ student-athletes and allies through four core pillars: Community, Visibility, Education, and Empowerment.
- Community: Create the space and bring people together to allow all LGBTQIA+ athletes and allies to thrive
- Visibility: Provide athletes and allies the means to express their support for the LGBTQIA+ community
- Education: Teach others why equality matters and how it can help their teams
- Empowerment: Give all athletes and allies the conviction to be authentic in themselves as athletes and people
Every athlete, straight or not-straight, deserves to compete uninhibited and free. Taking the pledge to joinÂ
Athlete Ally represents standing with the LGBTQIA+ community, giving voice to the people who comprise the organization, educating others about issues facing the community, and uplifting everyone through unity across sports. Anyone – athletes, coaches, parents, fans, and the greater BU campus community – can be an athlete ally.
In alignment with Boston University Athletics’ Who We Are tenets promoting inclusivity, we treat everyone with respect and dignity.
