Investigaytors is a community-based free volunteer training program for young 18- to 29-year-old gay, bi, trans, queer men or Two-Spirit or non-binary (GBT2Q) people in Ontario that will allow you to discover the queer world of gay men’s health research in a cohort of like-minded people. You will develop skills and research experience by doing and thinking about everyday queer health, and it will change the way you view our communities’ health and wellbeing!

Program participants are trained in quantitative and qualitative research skills, social determinants of health, HIV prevention and sexual health, and how research can be used to address health inequities and knowledge gaps.

Maggie’s Toronto Sex Workers Action Project is Canada’s oldest sex worker justice initiative offering wrap-around services, and life-affirming care to current and form sex workers across Toronto and the GTA.

From street outreach and harm reduction services/supports to case management, drop-in programming and community-specific resources for parents, QTBIPOC sex workers and male-identified workers, at the core of our work is an earnest belief that sex workers themselves are best equipped to determine what safety, dignity and community connection means to us.

Our programs are available to all current and former sex workers, and we operate on a self-disclosure/trust-based model. We are always looking for new and creative program/workshop offerings and prioritize working with current/former sex workers to facilitate programming!

Mission
LGBTQ+ at the J strives to be the heart of Toronto’s LGBTQ+ Jewish community, providing queer Jews opportunities to gather, celebrate and thrive. We aim for the full inclusion and celebration of LGBTQ+ Jews across Jewish communal institutions, in Jewish life, arts and cultural initiatives, and informal and formal education and more.

Vision
LGBTQ+ at the J fosters rich and diverse LGBTQ+ Jewish life in Toronto through dynamic programming – focused on social events, advocacy and education. We aspire to be a resource, safer space and home for all LGBTQ+ Jews across the spectrum of identities and affiliations. We intend to offer social and networking events and to provide opportunities for queer Jews to engage with Jewish holidays and traditions. We will partner with Jewish community organizations – including synagogues, schools and summer camps – to make their spaces and services more inclusive for LGBTQ+ Jews.
