Mission Statement
Greater Boston PFLAG’s mission is to create a more welcoming, inclusive society where all LGBTQ+ people feel safe, supported, and equal in their families, their communities, and beyond. We envision a world where all diversity is celebrated and everyone is respected, valued, and affirmed in their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
About This Cause
Greater Boston PFLAG is a unique voice in the fight for inclusion and equality. Unlike other organizations, our core mission focuses on educating and engaging the family, friends, and other allies of the LGBTQ+ community. Greater Boston PFLAG works with families, companies, schools, nonprofits, government agencies, and religious organizations to: • change attitudes through support, education, and training; • advocate for equity and policy change; and • create a society that’s safe and inclusive of LGBTQ+ people of all ages. From running groups for people who want to better support the LGBTQ+ kids in their lives to training companies how to be more inclusive, we’re changing hearts and minds at home, at work, at school, and beyond. The national PFLAG movement began in 1973 when one mother shattered a culture of silence and shame by speaking out publicly about her unequivocal support for her gay son. Greater Boston PFLAG, the largest of more than 400 PFLAG chapters in the United States, was founded five years later as an independent 501(c)3 organization. Some of our programs include: • Monthly meetings for families, friends, and caregivers • Confidential helpline support and information • Parent-to-parent peer support • Trainings and workshops for companies, schools, nonprofits, etc. • Advocacy and policy change • A regional speakers bureau • Annual scholarship awards for college-bound graduates
