The reason why I wanted to join out link is because growing up with a Latino family, and friends I could really feel the important and comfort with having a community to go to. That being said being queer and Latino was also hard to navigate. I also went to university and studied to become an occupational therapist, and in this profession it’s about  how to improve someone’s day-to-day life through their meaningful personal and social connections and activities. Taken together I wanted to volunteer with out link because I wanted to be a person in different areas of my life who could provide some meaningful social queer connections and provide support and be that person who I would have wanted to talk to as a young queer Latino person. My current role is a Group Facilitator for Grabba Java (South location).
