Welcome To Merced College's S.A.F.E. Club website. S.A.F.E. stands for Students Advocating For Equality. The club is for anyone and everyone who has ever in there life felt discriminated against because of a difference in the way they live there life. It could be race, sex, sexual orientation, disabilities, etc. Our goal is to educate others and ourselves in becoming more effective problem solvers in our community, to build a stronger community through education and understanding, and to offer a safe zone for individuals who face feelings of discrimination. Besides educating ourselves and others to better our understanding about life we do a lot of personal sharing and community activities. We support strict personal confidentiality. In the past we have taken a field trip and hope to do that more as the semester continues. Our most important goal of the club is to promote self worth and education of those who are different.
