Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities

Tell Your Story!

Equality Maryland aspires to be a clearinghouse of information, as well as a voice for the LGBT community and our allies. In order to accomplish this, we need couples and families who are willing to share their stories and speak out for equality. Please send us a JPEG photo along with a brief blurb about how you and your partner met and any hardships you have faced because your relationship is not recognized by the State. Let us know if you are willing to be contacted by local media. Please submit all items to info@equalitymaryland.org.

Equality Maryland House Parties

House parties are a wonderful way to generate much-needed revenue for Equality Maryland's advocacy and educational efforts. With our house party kit, we can help you shape an event that will work for you. An ideal event should contain a strong grassroots push, be fun for the organizer and attendees, and raise some money for our efforts in Annapolis and across the State. Whether you raise $2,000 or $200, the important thing is to take action! Please email mike@equalitymaryland.org to learn more.

TransEquality Maryland

This committee of Equality Maryland is working to promote greater understanding and equality for transgender individuals on the city, state and county levels. Send an email to info@equalitymaryland.org to get information about the next meeting.

LGBT Marylanders of Color Collective

This committee of Equality Maryland is comprised of LGBT activists of color and allies who are working to make a difference in changing hearts and minds in communities of color through visibility, education, political advocacy, and grassroots organizing.
