Volunteer Positions
We're a small team making a big difference in support for minor-attracted people. We were the first to compile a list of resources for friends and family members of MAPs, and thousands of people have used our flagship list of resources for MAPs to find support, acceptance, and community. Through it all, we've been educating people on MAP issues and backing the community's battle for human rights. Join our team and help us build a future where nobody has to feel hopeless or alone because of their attractions.Â
