SOGIE Student Involvement

Each semester we have many students, staff and faculty who help to make our program a possibility and we would love to have you join the team! Become a volunteer or a peer educator with us to lend a hand in our student space, at tabling or during events and programming.

• If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Nancy Haugh.
• If you are interested in being a peer educator, please contact Liz Todd.

As a volunteer, you will:

• Join a dynamic team of students to spread awareness of the LGBTQ+ community on JMU's campus.
• Complete a minimum of 2 hours of volunteering a week.
• Spend one hour of your volunteer time each week staffing our Lavender Lounge.
• Assist with tabling events on specific topics pertaining to the LGBTQ+ community.
• Plan and facilitate biweekly Queers and Coffee events.
• Attend weekly meetings to stay up-to-date on volunteer opportunities, build community, receive professional development.
• Remain professional during all Program events.

Peer Educator Outreach:

Programs covering various LGBTQ+ topics and experiences are offered for classes, organizations, and groups.  Our Peer Educators are JMU students in the LGBTQ+ community able to facilitate conversations on identities, inclusivity, language, and more.  To request an outreach program, use this quick, easy form.
