2SLGBTQAI+ Resources
Here is a list of 2SLGBTQAI+ resources in Newfoundland and Labrador:
YWCA St. John's Programs and Services for LGBTQIA+ Newcomers
YWCA St. John’s offers programs and services for LGBTQIA+ immigrants and refugees, ages 18+:
A peer support group, a mentorship program, and one-on-one support.
YWCA St. John’s has been working to enhance the settlement experience of LGBTQIA+ newcomers in NL since 2020, recognizing a gap in community for saf(er) spaces. We work to ensure that our programs, events, and services are accessible to those with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations, varying cultural identities, and to people of all abilities. Through our LGBTQIA+ Newcomer programs we know that targeted, community-driven options make belonging, wellbeing possible through peer support, advocacy and collaboration.
QUADRANGLE St. John's
Quadrangle’s aim is to create a centre that provides a shared community resource space that is flexible in how it can be used by community members and organizations–a shared space for building belonging across our differences, sharing resources, and honouring our strengths and experiences. The name also tips its hat to the historical significance of the triangle as a symbol of sexual diversity while at the same time acknowledging that our communities include sexual and gender diversity, and that the two are not reducible to the same thing.
