## 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.
