The Central Coast Coalition for Inclusive Schools (CCC4IS) was formed under the leadership of Elizabeth Meyer to support schools in implementing several new laws related to LGBT youth. Central to CCC4IS is the collaboration between experts at Cal Poly, local non-profits in San Luis Obispo County, and school agencies. CCC4IS has undertaken many school and community-related projects, including collecting data, bringing together the local Gay-Straight Alliances, training staff, and presenting at conferences. The coalition continues to work with the School of Education to help create schools that are safe places for youth to thrive.
