BConnected Needs You! Big & Small Ways to Get Involved

The world feels like a lot right now, but here’s the good news: you’re not alone. BConnected exists because community makes us healthier and happier. Every action, big or small, helps build a thriving, unstoppable, queer community. Whether you’ve got five minutes or five hours, there’s a way to get involved.

Having a role in the community can be a powerful antidote to anxiety, dysregulation, or fear. Putting the phone down, rolling up your sleeves, and showing up for each other is very grounding.

If you’re an ally, who wants to help out, YAY. Thank you! Pitching in for BConnected is basically as good for you and the community as the Mediterranean diet. It creates long-term health and happiness for everyone.

Small Ways to Give Back
(5 minutes or less!)

Nothing you do is ever small—these quick, easy, and fun actions pack a big punch. If everyone did just one of these, we could pretty much take over the world.

✏️ Give a short testimonial.
Sometimes, people take months or even a year to show up to an event. The more positive testimonials we have, the more comfortable people will feel about joining us. Email me or click here to shower us with praise.

🎉 Show up to events.
Yes, this is important. It’s tempting to isolate instead of leaning into collaboration and connection. RSVP on Meetup, so we have an accurate headcount and come hang out.

Ally—Maybe you have a Bi/Queer friend who’s feeling isolated; you can be their wingman at an event! It’s tough to show up solo, and we always have the door open for allies when they’re accompanied by their Bi/Queer person (friend, family member, co-worker, partner, etc). So it’s a win-win.

🤑 Donate!
We’re a nonprofit with big dreams. Right now, I’m covering all of BConnected’s basic costs out of pocket because I believe in this community so much. Your support helps shift this from a one-person labor of love to a collective movement that sustains itself—and grows! Click here to chip in.

Medium Ways to Help
(A tiny bit more effort, but so worth it.)

👯‍♀️ Help co-host an event.
I can always use a friend at events. Just being there as a greeter or support person makes a huge difference. Plus, it’s a great way to meet people and get involved!

🥳 Host an event!
It’s fun, I promise! I’ll help you brainstorm ideas and get everything set up. It doesn’t have to be an epic rager—it can be as simple as a walk or a coffee meetup. More events in different locations make us accessible to more people.

🧘🏻 Be a Focus Buddy

I’d love some support in the form of a monthly Zoom call—someone to help me stay accountable and prioritize tasks.

Starting a nonprofit is a huge undertaking, and I’ll be honest—sometimes, I just stare into the void when I’m overwhelmed. You don’t have to do much! Just being a sounding board once a month and helping me outline an action plan would make a world of difference.

📝 Share your story for our blog.
Writing about your Bi/Queer experience is a gift to someone who’s not out yet or looking for validation and insight. If you’re unsure about writing, use this Q&A form. If writing is your thing, click here to share your story.

🙌🏼 Organize a skillshare.

Skillshares are a new addition to BConnected, and so far, they’ve been amazing! Our self-defense workshop was fun, practical, and empowering. If you have a skill you’d love to share with the community—whether it’s creative, practical, or just plain fun—let’s make it happen. Click here for more info.

🏆 Overachievers, Assemble!
(Boss-level volunteering opportunities)

If you were the kid in the front row with your hand always up—this is for you.

🔥 Help with grant writing
We need help finding grants, writing applications, and keeping everything organized. This is a chance to sharpen your skills, boost your resume, and make a real impact as a changemaker in the Bi/Queer community. Email me if you’re interested!

🌈 Join the BConnected Board of Directors
We’re looking for a treasurer and a secretary—so if you love numbers, organization, and making a difference, we need you!

Now is an exciting time to be part of building a nonprofit from the ground up. As a board member, you’ll help shape policies, establish our framework, and make a HUGE impact. You’ll be a co-founder, a visionary, and a leader in your community.

These are tough times—but having a meaningful project to focus on is just as good for you as it is for the community.

Board Positions and Application

Cheers,
