Volunteers and staff at the LGBTQA Resource Center at UNL often get calls from LGBTQA individuals who would like to get involved in the community but do not know where to start. I think it is important that we have a list of meetings or social events from various organizations that is held regularly at a set time, either weekly or monthly. This will serve as a starting point for these individuals to mingle with others and determine what they are passionate about or would like to be involved with. Here are some of them. I encourage you to add and expand the list with meetings that you think are important (include time, location, and contact information when available).
