GSAFE Leadership Training Institute (LTI) 2026 Application

Thank you for your interest in GSAFE’s Leadership Training Institute 2026. LTI is a four-day, three-night camp for LGBTQ+ high school students who are interested in activism and expanding upon their leadership qualities. Campers participate in workshops on queer and racial justice and how to create change in their schools. They also will participate in gender, sexuality, and racial identity caucuses. LTI is staffed by a team of GSAFE staff, six Adult Mentors, and six Peer Mentors. Campers may reapply in 2027 as Peer Mentors.

LTI 2026 will take place from July 23th-26th, 2026, on the UW Whitewater campus, located in Whitewater Wi. The registration cost for LTI is $450.00. We do offer partial scholarships and a limited number of full scholarships, please note that no one is turned away due to inability to pay.
