Volunteer With Us
Come As You Are. Make a Difference. Sign Up As An OUT Georgia Volunteer.
OUT Georgia Business Alliance leans on dedicated volunteers to bring the OUT Georgia Experience to life at every stage.
From setting up an event and scoring Impact Fund grant applications to coordinating our Academy workshops and serving as an OUT Georgia Ambassador, volunteers play a critical role in the chamber’s work to represent and advance Georgia’s LGBTQ+ business community.
Volunteering at OUT Georgia
We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and experiences, including LGBTQ+ Georgians and our allies with intersectional or underrepresented identities, which may include:
Historically underrepresented and disenfranchised communities
(e.g. Black, Indigenous, AAPI, Latinx, disability, Transgender, etc.)
Individuals or communities impacted by socioeconomic and cultural barriers
(e.g. poor and rural communities, HIV/AIDS-related stigma, etc.)
Individuals or communities impacted by systems of oppression
(e.g. justice, prison, policing, housing, access to healthcare, etc.)
Expectation: OUT Georgia’s Volunteers are expected to attend a general volunteer orientation, a project/event training session, and perform volunteer activities.
Ambassador Program
OUT Georgia Ambassadors are current Members that go beyond the standard volunteer expectations to serve on the front lines of advancing Georgia’s LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce by:
Promoting OUT Georgia’s mission, events, and programs
Engaging with prospective, new, and renewing Members and their businesses
Sharing and creating stories that lift up Member organizations
Helping OUT Georgia during live and virtual events
Assisting with new LGBT-owned Business Enterprise certification
Shaping how OUT Georgia better represents and serves its diverse community of LGBTQ+ and ally businesses, nonprofits, professionals, and entrepreneurs
In addition to initial training, Ambassadors will meet once monthly with the organization’s staff and should expect to volunteer about 2-3 hours per month on the above activities.
OUT Georgia’s Ambassador Program is supported through a grant provided by NGLCC.
