About Range Education

Range Education is about advancing equity in all spaces where LGBTQ+ people work and live through Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) workshops, consulting, workforce development, and partnerships.


“Let me be direct: we understand the complex landscape businesses are navigating. In a time of intense political polarization, companies face pressure from those seeking to undermine non-discrimination protections. Yet the data is unequivocal—inclusive workplaces drive innovation, attract top talent, and deliver better business outcomes…Workplace equality isn't just a moral imperative; it's a business necessity in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.”

- Kelley Robinson, President Human Rights Campaign


Our Services

Range Education believes that everyone has a role to play in supporting an organization’s IDEA initiatives. Every employee, not just leaders, are integral in creating inclusive cultures. Our engaging and judgement-free approach empowers employees by providing practical tools, techniques and strategies to create environments where everyone can thrive. The following list includes topics that we can facilitate. In addition to these topics, we may be able to develop content to meet your organization’s unique needs.

Range Education sees the work of allyship as an ongoing process of learning and advocating for LGBTQ+ people. Allyship is practiced both by people who don’t identify as LGBTQ+ and by LGBTQ+ people who advocate across communities. People of all identities are invited and encouraged to attend Range workshops.

This workshop focuses on introducing basic language and terminology, while creating a supportive space for participants to ask questions. We will cover the differences between sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as expand on the additional types of diverse identities that fall beneath the umbrella categories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer. This workshop explores best practices for engaging with the LGBTQ+ community, the importance of pronouns and their impact on transgender and gender diverse people, tips for supporting colleagues that come out as LGBTQ+, and strategies for supporting the community through allyship.

Building off the fundamental concepts from the LGBTQ+ Basics training, this workshop explores the experiences and challenges faced by transgender and gender expansive people. Attendees will develop a better understanding about the transition process, how intersectionality impacts transgender people and provides information about transgender and gender expansive affirming resources and services.

This workshop introduces the principles of bystander intervention, discusses common barriers to intervention and provides effective strategies for identifying when harm is occurring and ways to safely intervene. We will discuss a variety of intervention strategies and apply them to different scenarios.

Range Education can conduct a comprehensive assessment of your organization’s culture, policies and procedures, benefits, and marketing to determine how effective they are at supporting LGBTQ+ workforce and clients. By conducting meetings, interviews, and surveys Range will talk to staff within all levels of the organization to make a thorough assessment. We will provide a preliminary timeline for the project and at the conclusion of the project, provide a summary analysis with reporting and recommendations.

Train-the-Trainer Consulting Project

Range Education has developed several comprehensive train-the-trainer projects for clients with their own training departments and/or ERG (employee resource group) staff but lacking the expertise, curriculum, and/or materials to deliver LGBTQ+ culturally affirming training to their employees. The projects can range between 3-, 6- or 12-month engagements, and combine the delivery of training and consulting services.

This workshop will help create awareness of the different types of LGBTQ+ identities encountered in clinics and doctor’s offices, the health barriers, drivers & disparities common within the LGBTQ+ community, and best practices for creating welcoming environments for LGBTQ+ patients and staff. This training includes many resources, including a comprehensive list of LGBTQ+ terms and ways to keep learning beyond the training.

Research shows that transgender employees who are able to successfully transition while on-the-job experience higher job satisfaction, as well as improved mental health and life satisfaction. Is your organization prepared to assist employees in gender transition at work?

While every transition will be unique, a formal Transition Plan & Guidelines document enables HR, management, and the transitioning employee to successfully navigate the transition in a way that demonstrates support for transgender employees and helps to minimize common problems and pitfalls. This training will assist your organization in developing and implementing plans and policies, address common best practices, and provide document templates for your use.

This workshop focuses on effective strategies to support LGBTQ+ communities through allyship. We will explore various levels of involvement as an ally, debunk some harmful myths about the LGBTQ+ community, and how to practice proactive bystander intervention in a way that reduces harm.

Proper pronoun use is essential to creating welcoming environments for transgender and gender expansive people. Using incorrect pronouns (also known as misgendering), is disrespectful and plays a significant role in creating hostile and unwelcoming atmospheres. This workshop examines the role and importance of pronouns in everyday interactions and includes a brief overview of gender identity and expression, and best practices for using inclusive communications.


"Inclusive workplaces reduce the estimated $64 billion annual attrition cost associated with the nearly two million American workers who leave their jobs each year due to unfairness and discrimination."
