Events and Outreach Volunteer

About Us:

Rainbow Faith and Freedom is a community and human rights-focused organization that is dedicated to addressing homophobia and transphobia in places of worship.

RFF is looking for outgoing and passionate volunteers, to be a part of our organization that is committed to developing long-term change.

We believe, decreasing and lessening the effects of religious-based LGBTI discrimination can, and will, make changing punitive laws easier and improve the lives of LBGTQI+ people so they can be who they are, love who they want, and find safe and accepting places to practice their faith (worship).
