Volunteer for an Organization that is Transforming the Baltimore LGBTQ+ Community!
It's not all fun and games (but that is a big part of it). Since opening as the 20th Chapter in 2020, Stonewall Sports- Baltimore has provided our local LGBTQ+ community and allies a safe space to make new friends, network, and have fun playing community sports. We do this in a welcoming, encouraging, affirming environment where players are encouraged to be their authentic selves. What's more, we have given back to the greater community in many other ways, including making over $20,000 in donations to our Philanthropic Partner, Baltimore Safe Haven.
Now we are hoping you will join us in furthering this mission. You will have the opportunity to continue this positive trajectory while making a meaningful difference. We have two important leadership roles we are looking to fill with the right candidate ASAP.
