Mission Statement: Our mission is to create space for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth to feel safe and empowered to be their true selves.
Organization’s Challenge:
QUEERSPACE Collective is seeking support with a marketing strategy project. In fall 2026, they will launch the QS Mentorship App, a virtual mentorship platform connecting queer and trans youth with affirming, trusted adults. This virtual mentorship model is a more flexible alternative to current Twin Cities-based, in-person programming. The app will first roll out to current QUEERSPACE program participants, followed by phased expansion both statewide and nationally. QUEERSPACE has many partners doing similar work across the country and wants to make sure people read the information they share about the app and take action (by spreading the word, donating, or signing up to be a mentor) once it officially opens. They recognize a massive need for this type of platform and seek support helping external audiences, particularly in rural areas, know it exists. QUEERSPACE Collective would benefit from a comprehensive marketing strategy for launching the app in areas beyond the Twin Cities, including those they have existing relationships with and new connections.
Potential Deliverable(s):
1. Marketing Strategy for app launch
2. Marketing recommendations for reaching rural audiences
Requested Volunteer Skill Sets:
Marketing Strategy, Communications, Project Management, Digital Marketing & Content Management
These spots are for 2-3 Pro Bono Consultants - Pro bono consultants give their time and expertise to the challenge, supporting the nonprofit and team in finding a solution and working toward the agreed-upon deliverable.
