Affirmation Dominican leaders and other members have volunteered and joined forces to rent an office for The Rainbow Ark and have started program coordination, international affiliations, coordinating hosting and arranging visa process operations for incoming participants. For young adults 18+ and older The Organization will assist in work placement and provide help with accommodation, visas and relocation assistance.

A total of 11 regional or thematic conferences have been held this year, including: Los Angeles (January 15-17), Bogota, Colombia (February 19-21), the Affirmation Father’s Retreat in Lehi, UT (March 18-20), Fortaleza, Brazil (April 8-10), Sao Paulo, Brazil (April 15-18), Buenos Aires, Argentina (April 22-24), the Affirmation Leadership Retreat in Independence, MO (May 13-15), London (June 10-12).
“Laura, Bill and Justis bring skills, connections and perspectives I believe are essential for Affirmation to effectively serve LGBT Mormons, their families and friends throughout the world at this particularly critical and painful moment in the history of relations between LGBT people and the LDS Church,” said John Gustav-Wrathall, president of Affirmation.
Every year, we hold an international gathering where LGBTQ+ Mormons from around the world gather to meet, break bread together, sing together, talk, dance, worship, tell stories, learn, laugh, cry, make new friends, spend time with old friends, and, most of all, find hope. We invite you to come join us this year, at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo, Utah, September 23-25.
This year, a new approach is being taken to how workshops have been organized. There will be eight different “workshop tracks,” each representing a specific area of interest or a specific need.
Conference time is coming soon, and we are excited to have amazing speakers, programs and workshops focusing on youth empowerment, trans and genderqueer stories, self-care, intersectionality, finding an authentic spiritual path, and much, much more!
Please consider making a donation of any amount that you are able. Given the heart-breaking challenges of the past year, the need for the life-saving community and connection that Affirmation offers has never been greater.
