In recent years, the visibility of issues related to the LGBTI+ community of Azerbaijan has grown significantly, thanks largely to the contributions of LGBTI+ themselves. Whether speaking out about their experiences or taking a stand as activists with open identities, they are at the forefront of this movement.

To sustain community-building and engagement in an informed, effective, and safe manner, Nafas LGBTI Azerbaijan Alliance adopted a volunteer engagement strategy in 2022.

Founded on the Theory of Change, this strategy aims to support LGBTI+s interested in civic engagement and community work, and facilitate the process by ensuring that Nafas is a meaningful place for community members to volunteer.
