Get Involved
It takes a community to ensure our queer and gender nonconforming have access to mentors and safe spaces to embrace who they are. No matter if you identify as part of the community or an advocate there are a number of ways you can get involved - and you can start now.
Get Involved as a Youth
Are you 13-18 years old and exploring if you are queer and/or gender non-conforming?
If so, we have numerous mentoring programs for you to choose from designed by other queer and gender-nonconforming youth. Our comprehensive program includes storytelling, creative arts, career exploration, entrepreneurship, leadership, LGBTQ+ history and culture, and sports.
Become A Mentor
Are you 21+ or older, identify as queer and/or gender nonconforming, and want to invest in the next generation of leaders in our community?
Becoming a mentor might just be for you. Mentoring is a life-changing experience. We offer a variety of ways you can become a mentor in our programming.
Get Involved as a Parent, Caregiver, or Advocate
Are you a caregiver of a queer and/or gender non-conforming youth or one that is exploring their identity?
Even as an advocate or ally, you can support our gender and nonconforming youth.
Sponsor Rainbow Labs
It takes a village of supporters and sponsors to power our programming. We have brought in exciting sponsors such as American Airlines, Disney, Kaiser Permanente, and Southern California Gas.
Our sponsors provide funding, in-kind donations, and volunteers. Learn more about how you or your company can become a sponsor for Rainbow Labs today!
