Support Group Facilitators
We have an amazing array of online support groups to meet the needs of a wide spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community and its intersections. Groups are led by volunteer facilitators who ensure that all of our families can be supported, affirmed, and represented. If you have lived experience that connects you to any of our groups and you're passionate about guiding, uplifting, and making a positive impact for families, we invite you to get trained as a facilitator.
1-on-1
Coaches
We offer individual coaching and goal setting to family members and loved ones of LGBTQ+ people to help them move forward in accepting, understanding, and supporting their LGBTQ+ loved ones, as well as to LGBTQ+ people looking for guidance. If you like the idea of working with people virtually 1-on-1 to meet their specific needs, we invite you to get trained as a volunteer coach.
Safe Schools Program Speakers
The Safe Schools Program is an educational speaking and outreach program where PFLAG NYC staff and community speakers visit schools across New York City to promote inclusion, understanding, equality, and non-violence. If you're interested in becoming a volunteer speaker for the program, you can find more information and a registration form here.
