Queerly ME fosters strong support networks and strengthens community belonging for LGBTQIA+ adults in Maine. As the only LGBTQIA+ led nonprofit in Maine serving all 16 counties annually, Queerly ME is helming the creation of a robust statewide community network where LGBTQIA+ people can develop critical support systems, share affirming resources, and access the restorative power of the outdoors. This dedication and broad geographic reach allows Queerly ME to directly partner with local organizations, businesses, and community members everywhere in Maine to take an informed approach to identifying existing resources and fulfilling unmet community needs. Queerly ME’s work is bolstered by three strategic initiatives to create and increase 1) LGBTQIA+ visibility, 2) resource accessibility, and 3) opportunities for community building outdoors. Queerly ME’s widespread efforts reduce isolation and resource scarcity while increasing community health and wellbeing in regions where LGBTQIA+ infrastructure is scarce to nonexistent.Queerly ME’s primary demographic is LGBTQIA+ people who live in rural, underserved regions, are gender nonconforming, transgender, or queer, and range between their 20s to 60s. LGBTQIA+ adults are often limited to nightlife to access affirming community spaces. By creating low-barrier outdoor programs and leading resource accessibility effort catered to LGBTQIA+ adults, we offer an alternative pathway towards essential social connection.
