Volunteer Interest Form

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR INSIDE MEMBERS!

This work requires us to be rooted in community. For this reason, we strongly suggest doing this in groups of 3 people or more in order for us to reach our inside members in a timely manner and to ensure community accountability and support.

If you are an individual and want to support our members, please sign up to be a penpal or donate! If you aren't sure, review this volunteer guide to find the best fit for you.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to advocacy@blackandpink.org
