Volunteer
The National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change is a massive undertaking. Each year the number of sessions offered and the human resources needed to make the conference run smoothly is impressive. In order for this event to succeed we rely on the generosity and support of local volunteers. Volunteering with the conference is a great way to experience the work of the conference, both in sessions and behind the scenes, while getting to meet new people in your own community. If you live in Metro Denver or in Colorado and you are interested in volunteering, please complete this volunteer registration form [25].
