Volunteering

Volunteer welcome

Are you interested in becoming a volunteer with the association? Great! We are always happy to welcome new people.

The first step is to send us an email at contact@fiertescolorees.org so that we can arrange a meeting.

We will take the time to discuss what you are interested in, what you like to do, how the association works, etc.

After this first meeting, you will need to familiarize yourself with our volunteer welcome booklet (short or long version, it doesn't matter), and get back to us for a second meeting to sign the charter and officially become a volunteer.

Pour devenir bénévole, il faut nécessairement être adhérent•e. L'adhésion est gratuite, rendez-vous sur "nous soutenir".

These documents contain a lot of information. They might feel a bit dense at first, but they should answer many of the questions you might have.

You can also consult our volunteer charter and our values below.

Our values

Fiertés Colorées is the LGBTI+ center of Rouen. We work towards the flourishing and support of LGBTI+ individuals as a whole, and we fight against discrimination in Rouen and its region.

We are an LGBTI+ association. While Fiertés Colorées is non-partisan (it does not show affiliation or support for any political party), we are political.
We are a feminist, intersectional, and left-leaning association.

We take a stand against racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, fatphobia, imperialism, sex work stigma, xenophobia, and more.
We advocate for full bodily autonomy for everyone and actively oppose the far right.

Empathy, kindness, respect, tolerance, and civility are also key values for us.

These values shape who we are, and it is important that our volunteers respect them within the association.

Opinions or behaviours that contradict these values should not be expressed, either within the association or when acting as a volunteer representing the association.
