520 _aSafe schools coalitions (SSCs) are community-based organizations aimed at changing school policy and broader communities to be more responsive to the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth. Despite the prevalence of these coalitions, little is known about their organizing work. Using case study methods, semistructured interviews were conducted with 9 SSC leaders in 3 states in the South. Five themes identified were: formation and goals; organizational barriers and challenges; Southern cultural context; relationships with national organizations; and innovation. Best practices when working with SSCs in similarly conservative, underresourced contexts were developed based upon the analysis.
