Why join an affinity group?

  • Support & Belonging – Connect with others who share similar identities or lived experiences. Getting together as an identity group for brave sharing can make it easier to navigate the larger village.

  • Networking & Growth – Gain mentorship, make friends, learn about yourself, and maybe even get career opportunities.

  • Advocacy & Change – Work together to create a more inclusive and equitable environment. Please read carefully whether allies are welcome. In most affinity spaces based on identity, these are for only folks who carry that identity.

  • Education & Awareness – Learn from different perspectives and experiences.

It's an important part of our core mission to nurture affinity groups within our community, and we want more of them!
