The National Coalition for LGBT Health
http://www.healthhiv.org/sites-causes/national-coalition-for-lgbt-health/
This organization works to improve the health of GLBT persons through education, advocacy, research, and community building. They need volunteers to work in groups to plan their Awareness Week, annual meetings, and assist with legislative priorities. Being a part of these working groups will increase your knowledge and experience with GLBT persons. They also host an annual meeting to network with other persons who are curious about GLBT health and to discuss advocacy opportunities. Their website allows you to sign up for a bi-monthly email updated regarding research, legislative decisions, and new ways to be involved.

The Gay and Lesbian Medical Association
http://www.glma.org
The Gay Lesbian Medical Association also holds an annual conference that nonmembers can attend. This conference is the world’s largest gathering of GLBT healthcare professionals and offers presentations and workshops discussing substance abuse, GLBT health, aging, HIV/AIDS, intersex health, legal issues, and family and relationships.

The International Association of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Pride Coordinators
http://www.interpride.org
If you can’t afford to travel to a national conference, you can find events in your own area. This website lists all upcoming events throughout the U.S.

Gay and Lesbian Pride Month The month of June is Gay and Lesbian Pride Month, and many cities hold parades and/or festivals; be on the lookout for events in your area during this time. If you are looking for an event that is not in June, conduct a simple search online using keywords such as the name of your city along with “gay and lesbian events.”
