We have 5 core volunteer committees that we are looking to expand. However, we welcome all support from the community and would love to talk if you have other interests or skills that could support our operations!
Events
We produce a number of large and small events throughout the year that require help with planning, logistics, and day-of staffing. This includes community events where the Equality Alliance is tabling and bringing awareness around Chester County.
Communications
Members of the communications committee are crucial for amplifying the nonprofit’s voice and reaching both internal and external audiences effectively. This committee creates and manages a variety of content for social media, press releases, our blog and newsletter. Writing, photography and video production experience is definitely a plus!
Office Hours / Social Committee
We currently have office hours on Wednesdays from 3 - 7 p.m. We would like to add additional hours throughout the week for social events and just to have a safe space for queer folks to come.
Advocacy
The advocacy committee plays a crucial role in driving the organization's mission to promote equality, rights, and visibility for the LGBTQ+ community. This is essential to advance our efforts to push for social, legal, and political change, ensuring that Chester County’s LGBTQ+ community's rights are protected and advanced.
Grant Writing / Fundraising
Volunteering for the grant writing and fundraising committee allows you to play a pivotal role in securing vital resources that directly support the programs, advocacy, and outreach efforts of the LGBTQ+ community, helping to create lasting, positive change. This committee will deal with writing proposals for different organizations offering grants, identify grant opportunities, and come up with fundraising ideas the LGBTEA can work on.
