Since 1995, the LGBT National Help Center has been providing peer support and vital community resources of the LGBTQIA+ community nationwide.

Through our multiple national hotlines and online peer support programs we provide a safe space for those within the community to discuss issues and concerns on topics such as coming out, gender identity, sexuality, bullying, discrimination, relationships, feelings of isolation, suicide and much more.

One of our key programs that is utilized by our support volunteers and other support non profits is our expansive LGBTQIA+ resource database. We have over 18,000 LGBTQIA+ resources that offer connections to the community and for additional support. The database run the range from social and support groups, to LGBTQ affirming doctors and lawyers, queer run businesses, crisis prevention, gender affirming therapist and so much more. If it’s LGBTQIA+ or focused we attempt to have it in the database.

Because it’s constantly being used by our peer support volunteers and other social work organizations there is a need to keep the records up to date and to hunt for new resources we don’t have listed yet.

That is where you can come in. We need support maintaining this vital community resource. Information Detective also known as Resource and Data Entry Volunteers will use their researching sleuthing skills, along with making direct calls when needed to sure that the information we have is still current and correct. Because our community is always growing and changing, you’ll also be vital in finding new resources to add the database.

You will play an incredibly important role in maintaining the integrity of these resources we provide to the community every day. Much of our updating will require being online and you’ll need to use your internet "know how’ to find current information. You’ll also be contacting resources directly by phone or email when needed.

This volunteer position isn’t for everyone, it requires a lot of detective work, but it can also be very rewarding. Not only will you be helping us, and those who reach out for support, but this can be a way for you to expand your knowledge on the many aspects of our amazing LGBTQIA+ community.
