Vision

Affirmation is a refuge where LGBTQIA+ current and former Latter-day Saints can land, heal, share, and be authentic. We support those navigating identity, faith, family, and community by providing safety, connection, and hope. Individuals explore spirituality, build meaningful connections, and recognize their inherent worth. Our vision is a community where all live authentically, knowing they are valued, whole, and worthy.

Goals

1. 1.Build Human-Centered Capacity and Resources: We will build diverse worldwide communities where all who engage with Affirmation feel known and cared for, are able to access helpful resources, are connected with others in Affirmation online and in-person, and have the opportunity and resources to contribute toward achieving Affirmation’s mission.
2. 2.Increase Visibility and Accessibility: We will expand our ability to reach and be found by those who would benefit from Affirmation’s communities and resources, increase awareness of Affirmation within the LGBTQIA+ Latter-day Saint community, provide resources in diverse languages and formats, and effectively communicate Affirmation’s mission and impact.
3. 3.Cultivate Spiritual Well-being: We will encourage and provide opportunities for the exploration of spirituality by all in Affirmation, help all understand their inherent self-worth and spiritual equality, and support all in defining how they intersect with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or as they embark on diverse spiritual paths.
