Peer-Led

Groups.

Peer led programs are crucial to Affinity’s development as an organization. For many years, there was no paid staff at Affinity so if it were not for volunteers, the organization would not exist.

Our volunteer led program groups create and run programs that reach particular demographics in our community. These programs are highly tailored and in addition to providing support and programming, create leadership opportunities. We currently have the following volunteer led program groups. Each has its own schedule and contact persons.

Trailblazers

The purpose of the Affinity Trail Blazers (formerly known as the Affinity Senior group) is to provide community and information for and among seniors to identify challenges of being in the 60+ age group; to advocate for individuals in this age group; and to provide support for partners whose partners have health issues.

Proud Parents

Proud Parents is tailored to LGBTQI individuals who are raising children. Support and a sense of community will be provided to these non-traditional families as well as the chance to meet other colorful families with similar interests.

Childcare provided.

Spectrum

The purpose of Spectrum is to build community amongst masculine of center folks within the LGBTQ community. We will live out this purpose by providing a safe space offering healing interactions and fun escapes for people of color. We hope that through this group we can build a brotherhood of service to others.
