Seeking Chatroom Moderator Volunteers

 

2025 has seen a rise of the need for safe space for LGBTQ+ youth. In response we are expanding chatroom hours so we need your help to keep LGBTQ+ young people safe!

Moderated chatrooms allow us to offer a space where young people can gather, form community, and support and uplift each other. We offer online chatrooms available to LGBTQIA+ youth. Trained moderators take the lead within those chatrooms to make sure the chatroom stays safe and appropriate. We’re looking for moderators who can find the balance between leading a conversation and providing a space where young people can find their own voice and create their own topics. Additionally, moderators safeguard the rooms from trolls and hate speech to create a safe space for young people to feel comfortable to be themselves and to grow. 

Volunteer requirements:

  • Moderators must be at least 18 years old

  • Commit to a 2-hour shift each week for at least 12 months (starting after training)

  • Access to high-speed internet

  • Must be able to use a laptop or desktop, you can not use a phone

  • Basic internet knowledge

  • Ability to type and communicate in English

  • Mature nature, but able to connect with young people
