we are dedicated to creating
A positive experience for all involved
We recognize that being a volunteer facilitator can present challenges, including personal sacrifice, emotional demands, navigating unforeseen circumstances and time commitments, as well as a lack of clear resources to help support the community we are dedicated to serving.
We are committed to providing an empowering, uplifting, and enriching experience for volunteer facilitators.
Our mission is to ensure you are supported and acknowledged so that you and all our other facilitators have a positive experience.
We believe this positive experience will then transfer to the community members who attend support groups.
safety, wellbeing, and thriving of the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole.
Our Vision Is To Provide Every Facilitator With:
Training
We provide a foundational, online, free training platform to empower facilitators to skillfully and confidently navigate the array of complex topics and issues that present themselves in LGBTQIA+ support groups.
Training Includes: group facilitation skills, holding space, conflict management, suicide prevention training, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Bonus training includes: coaching tools to powerfully manage mindset, improve interpersonal relationships, emotional wellbeing, and create desirable results in every area of life.
Support
We give facilitators access to ongoing support groups so that they can get the help they need, and often don’t have when facilitating.
This provides a space for facilitators to speak about the common challenges experienced while facilitating as well as to receive support from peers about things in their lives that they typically don’t share when in a position of leadership.
Ongoing mock opportunities and community visioning events to remain informed about the needs of the community, actively practice skills learned in the training, get clarity, and practice implementing facilitation skills effectively in a collaborative environment.
