Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) Network
Dave Reynolds is a Pittsburgh native with a BA from Occidental College in Los Angeles and an MPH from Columbia University in New York. Dave is currently the Project Director for the Safe & Healthy LGBT Youth Project at Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) Network. This project is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Adolescent and School Health and is exciting as it is the first time a safe schools initiative with this emphasis has been funded. Before joining GSA Network, Dave spent four years at The Trevor Project, initially as the East Coast Call Center Manager, then Advocacy and Education Manager and finally Sr. Public Policy and Research Manager—attending to the growing suicide prevention organization’s programs and priorities in a variety of areas. While at the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) he helped construct the "HIV and AIDS @ 25" Media Resource Guide which was released in June 2006 to recognize 25 years of the pandemic. He also spent four months living in South Africa researching HIV and AIDS prevention education in public schools in townships. Dave’s graduate work at Columbia in the department of Sociomedical Sciences focused on education and program design as well as policy, research, and evaluation. During his undergraduate years Dave managed anti-gang and academic enrichment programs in under-served East Los Angeles high schools and joined a research team in graduate school to look at antiretroviral therapy adherence and how it relates to the communication styles of the prescribing physician. Dave prizes his strong background in research, public policy, public health and youth advocacy.
