Q: Am I required to do a certain amount of events if I say I'm interested in a leadership role?
A: No! The leadership roles will be come as you can. You can volunteer to help with one event as you want but you aren't required to manage a certain number. The form has been edited for clarity!

Q: What is your most-needed volunteer position?
A: At the moment, we need more Mutual Aid Coordinators and Event Managers! Mutual Aid Coordinators are responsible for keeping in contact with mutual aid recipients and event managers will be responsible for building up raid trains and similar things.

Who we're looking for to get started: Community Moderators; Mutual Aid Coordinators; Event Managers; Podcast Hosts; Membership Managers; Tech Assistants. Each option has a small logo icon next to it in a purple color, described in the same order listed above:

the word Beacon is in the same purple and also all capital letters. A dark purple graphic with light purple text: Various events will take place throughout the year with rotating volunteer options.

"Rainbow Beacon" is in logo form with the word Rainbow in all capital letters, curved with a connecting line above it starting at the top of the R and curving around to the top of the W, all in the color white with a light purple halo and with two smaller curved purple lines below it.

ALT Text (thank you @rhapsperhaps.bsky.social): A dark purple and white themed graphic with the following text: Introducing Rainbow Beacon a community dedicated to shining spotlights on 2SLGBTQIA+ folks who need it the most through charity and mutual aid fundraising.

Oh Rhaps thank you so much, we had ALT text on a former draft on this post and forgot to carry it over. Appreciate you 🤍

The volunteer roles will also vary in intensity for disabilities, chronic illnesses, busy schedules, etc. in case you'd like to help out but can only offer so many spoons or time. More info is available in the interest form but you can also drop questions below. 💟

There will be multiple events throughout each year, including the Point of Pride Raid Train hosted by MoTheScorpio. It will now be apart of The Rainbow Beacon's calendar! 🏳️‍⚧️ Organizers will not have to be involved with every fundraiser; the work will be divided up so no one gets burnt out. 🤝
