Mission Statement
Affirmation creates worldwide communities of safety, love, and hope and promotes understanding, acceptance, and self-determination of individuals of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions. We affirm the inherent self-worth of LGBTQIA+ individuals as complete, equal, and valuable persons and support them as they define their individual spirituality and intersection with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Description
To be a refuge to land, heal, share, and be authentic.
In Affirmation’s 40+ year history of creating and sustaining a community of support for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals with a current or former relationship with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it has been important that Affirmation review and renew and revise its mission, vision, and objectives from time to time to best serve the present needs of the people the organization serves.
Our Strategic Objectives are to: (1) Build Human-Centered Capacity and Resources, (2) Cultivate Spiritual Well-being, (3) Increase Visibility and Accessibility, (4) Foster Collaboration and Dialogue, and (5) Develop Financial Strength.
