Thank you to all of our current and past volunteers, including our Steering Committee, and Out to Eat Planning Committee.

Get Involved To request an application, contact Program Coordinator, Sammy Maramba-Ferrell. While we review all applications, we do not have the capacity to interview all applicants. Our team of dedicated Volunteers expands our capacity to support and empower LGBTQQ Youth. We could not do what we do without you. Your support, time, and energy help make a real difference in the lives of LGBTQQ Youth.

Program Structure
Formerly known as Friends of Outlet, a Mentor-Mentee program, we've now transitioned into the Outlet Volunteer Corps. Each volunteer has a Key Position that has primary roles and responsibilities. These options are listed below. You can also sign up to volunteer for one-time events.

Expectations
We ask a minimum of a 6-12 month commitment for most positions.

Volunteers meet once a quarter at a casual social event that includes a brief agenda with updates. This is also an opportunity to build community and share ideas with others who share your passion to support LGBTQQ Youth. We also hold a bi-annual training for OVC such as Suicide Prevention education, Transgender education and other important issues.

Volunteers sign up for events, prioritizing those that fall under your key roles and responsibilities. If you have the capacity, you can also sign up for any additional events.

Key Positions

• Bilingual Spanish-Speaking Volunteers
• Gender Education Speakers
• Young Adults Group Facilitator
• Visibility & Outreach Volunteers
• General Volunteers
• One-Time Event Volunteers (Dance Chaperones, etc)

Additional Volunteer Opportunities

• Out To Eat Planning Committee (20-30)
  Give back to your community, meet new people and use your party planning skills to help organize Outlet's 10th Anniversary Fundraiser. We need folks with strong experience and/or interest in corporate fundraising, marketing, ticket selling, and general event planning.

• Steering Committee
  Join the Outlet leadership team by serving on our Steering Committee. The committee provides guidance in the development, management, and strategic direction of Outlet. By insuring fiscal solvency, quality programming, and awareness of Outlet services, you can significantly impact the lives of LGBTQQ youth.
