GSA Network originally focused on supporting youth in California, and still has its headquarters in Oakland, California, but is now active nationwide. HistoryGSA Network was founded by Carolyn Laub in 1998 working with 40 GSA clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area. The organization expanded and in 2001 GSA Network became a statewide organization. In 2005, GSA Network began operating programs nationally. In 2008, GSA Network incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Prior to that, GSA Network was a fiscally sponsored project of The Tides Center.[1][2][3] In 2015, Ginna Brelsford and Geoffrey Winder assumed the roles of co-executive directors of GSA Network. In the spring of 2016, GSA Network changed its name from "Gay Straight-Alliance Network" to "Genders & Sexualities Alliance Network" to better reflect the diverse range of identities of the youth participating in its programming. At the same time, the organization adopted its current tagline of "trans and queer youth uniting for racial and gender justice." GSA Network currently has staff based in Oakland, Fresno, and Los Angeles, California, as well as New Orleans, Louisiana, and Chicago, Illinois. ProgramsGSA Network activities and programs currently active include:[2][4]
Helps students start GSA clubs and provides resources and opportunities for GSAs to network and receive support. As of 2012, there are over 880 GSA clubs in California alone.[3]

Youth-led advocacy of non-discrimination laws. The organization supports the youth by providing resources to help address issues related to creating safer schools.
