Facilitator-TrainingSALGA holds confidential support group meetings every month on the second Saturday of the month for LGBTQSTGNC people of South Asian decent. A SALGA support group facilitator moderates and facilitates such meetings. The facilitator must be trained in specific methods of facilitation in order to effectively serve the needs of the community.
Are you Nepalese? Are you Muslim? Are you a Transgender person?
Do you feel marginalized in an already marginalized community?
Anyone of South Asian descent who is interested can become a support group facilitator. To address the diverse needs of our community it is important to have leadership from communities that are under-represented in traditional South Asian LGBT spaces. We especially encourage women, youth, elderly, bisexual people, and/or transgender people to come on board as facilitators, as well as people of diverse national or religious backgrounds to help us better serve minority sub-cultures within SALGA!

The training is FREE but trained facilitators must commit to facilitating at least one support group meeting in the following six months.
