GAPA Receives BAPHR Support
GAPA and GAPA Fund are honored to receive a community grant from BAPHR (Bay Area Physicians for Human Rights) in support of GAPA social activities and GAPA cultural programs, including GAPA Theatre and GAPA Men’s Chorus. BAPHR’s support furthers our goals of helping create a nurturing and supportive QTAPI community. Thank you!
Get Involved in GAPA!
GAPA has been giving voice and presence to the queer and transgender Asian and Pacific Islander (QTAPI) community for more than 35 years. As an all-volunteer, grassroots organization, we have been dedicated to providing a safe space to inspire individuals to be their best selves, for others to celebrate our diversity, and for all of us to continue the fight for equality.
GAPA is governed by an active board of committed volunteers and you are encouraged to get involved. Currently, we are actively recruiting folks to take on the roles of Social Chair, Membership Chair and PAC Chair. For those not ready to take on a board position, also consider taking the lead on ad hoc events, such as hikes, dinner outings, mixers or roundtable discussions. Grow your skills and take on a leadership role while enriching the QTAPI community of the Bay Area. We can help you explore your interests and passions.
GAPA directly engages in social, cultural, and political advocacy to advance and protect our community’s interests and well-being. You can support our efforts by leading an activity, volunteering your time and talents, becoming a member, or making a donation. To get more involved, please contact: board@gapa.org.
