Adopt a queer
Do you have room in your heart, experience, and a little extra time? We are looking for you who wants to be a safe space and a steady presence in another LGBTQI person’s everyday life.
Within our community, we know that chosen family is often the most important one. Sometimes, you just need someone who “gets it.” Through Adopt a queer, we connect established LGBTQI individuals with other community members who need social support, guidance, or just a friend to grab a coffee with.
How does it work?
In this context, “adopting” a queer person means meeting up a couple of times a month for simple activities. This can be anything from visiting a museum or working out together, to helping out with public authorities or just chatting over a coffee. We also refer to this role as being a contact person.
Would you like to be connected with someone for a little extra support?
Email our counselor at kurator@goteborg.rfsl.se, and they will get back to you with more information.
Do you want to become a contact person?
We are looking for individuals who are secure in their own LGBTQI identity, are of legal age (18+), and have a generally stable life situation. We offer training, supervision, references, and a network of other dedicated contact persons.
Please note: Being a contact person is a volunteer position. No financial compensation is provided.
