Our Bar Safety Initiative

From learning how to stay safe and protect the immigration rights of LGBTQ+ community members to crisis response practices for events and venues, our Bar Safety Initiative supports our communities in preventing, responding to, and healing from violence.

Through on-the-ground outreach and canvassing in Jackson Heights and beyond, we partner with queer bars to raise awareness and connect people to vital, affirming services, especially for immigrant and TGNC communities.

Year-Round Opportunities

We also offer opportunities throughout the year, including advocacy work and outreach.

If you’re looking to support our 24/7 Hotline, check out our Hotline Volunteer program.

What is the time commitment?

Once you fill out the form {LINK}, we’ll share upcoming opportunities and you can opt in based on your availability. 

Plans change—we get it. If you want to jump in last-minute (like joining a march), just email us at least two days ahead and we’ll do our best to fit you in. 

If you’re interested in volunteering in a leadership role and have more time and energy to give, talk to Alice Volkov or another AVP staff member at any event you attend. 

You don’t need prior experience. Just show up as you are! Some roles include a brief orientation, while others are explained as you go. Either way, we’ll make sure you feel supported, clear on what you’re doing, and part of the team. 

And if you ever have questions? Just email us {EMAIL}. We’ve got you!
