Affirmations’ mission is to provide a welcoming space where people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and cultures can find support and unconditional acceptance, and where they can learn, grow, socialize, and feel safe. These Community Agreements ensure we create a space in alignment with that mission.
