The YES! Coalition is interested in making ourselves known, not only to the LGBTQQ/SGL community, but also to LGBTQQ/SGL friendly families who may be seeking a progressive-minded spiritual home.  You can help!

Our outreach efforts depend on volunteers who are willing to show up and be visible as people of faith who affirm the LGBTQQ/SGL community.

1. Sign-up for our email mailing list to learn about outreach opportunities that you and/or your faith community or LGBTQQ/SGL-affirming organziation can participate in.

2. Our outreach postcard is available for distribution:

• in your congregation (a simple way to show your welcome)
• in coffee shops, bars, grocery stores and other neighborhood gathering places (reaching seekers who may be looking for a spiritual home)
• at community events that you or your congregation may attend
• to friends, family, colleagues, or others who may be interested in the YES! Coalition

To obtain more postcards, please contact us!

3. Make sure your congregation's or organization's listing in the Guide to Welcoming Congregations is up-to-date and includes enough information for seekers to get to know your community.
