QARAVAN Connects

About the program

Moving to a new country can be lonely, and many newcomers have the same questions.

What we do

A Telegram community for LGBTQ+ immigrants and friends: city chats for New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle, and topics like parenting, jobs, health care and education.

Our impact

People make friends, get answers and feel less alone.

“The most important function we perform is a social one: helping people fight isolation.”

Ezra Abdullabekov, QARAVAN (Brooklyn Magazine, 2026)
