AFSP Washington LGBTQ+ Committee

About the Opportunity

The AFSP Washington Chapter LGBTQ+ Committee is rebuilding — and we’re looking for passionate volunteers to help us grow.

Our goal is to make suicide prevention more inclusive and representative of the LGBTQ+ community across Washington State.

This committee helps lead outreach, education, and awareness for LGBTQ+ mental health through AFSP’s statewide programs, including Talk Saves Lives: LGBTQ+, Pride outreach, and community partnerships.

No nonprofit experience needed, just heart, creativity, and a desire to make a difference.

• Table at local Pride events, community fairs, and Out of the Darkness Walks
• Help promote Talk Saves Lives: LGBTQ+ educational programs
• Collaborate on social media content and campaigns
• Participate in virtual meetings and brainstorming sessions
• Bring your lived experience or allyship to shape how AFSP Washington represents our LGBTQ+ community
