Mutual Aid: Rethinking Volunteerism to Meet Community Needs
In times of crisis, communities often turn to mutual aid to meet needs that are not being met by existing systems. For example, in the LGBTQ+ community, mutual aid continues to be an integral part in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In this learning session participants will learn about mutual aid and how it differs from traditional charity work. They will also consider best practices for participating in mutual aid networks and things to keep in mind as they participate in this kind of community support. And while we encourage folks to become a part of existing networks, participants will also be guided through a step-by-step process to create a new mutual aid network, if it is needed.
