🏳️‍🌈 Does your organization truly serve LGBTQ+ older adults?

ORCA offers LGBTQ+ cultural competency trainings for senior-serving providers from long-term care facilities to in-home care services. We help organizations understand the specific needs of LGBTQ+ elders so they can deliver care that's actually affirming.

Because older LGBTQ+ adults deserve to age with dignity, respect, and without fear of discrimination.

Sometimes life hands us more than we can carry alone.

ORCA offers two powerful support groups, in partnership with the Alzheimer's Association:
🔹 Loss Group: A safe space to process the many kinds of loss we encounter through life's stages, together.

🔹 LGBTQ+ Dementia Caregiver Support Group:— For members of our community who are caring for a loved one with dementia. You deserve support too.
These groups exist because isolation shouldn't be part of getting older, especially for LGBTQ+ adults who've already faced so much. You don't have to navigate this alone.

Community isn't something you find. It's something you build, together.

For over a decade, ORCA has been creating spaces in Albuquerque where LGBTQ+ older adults can gather, laugh, grieve, celebrate, and simply be themselves.

If you've ever felt like there's no one around who gets it. We want you to know: there is. And we'd love to meet you.

Come find your people. 💜

🎉 ORCA has a float in this year's parade, and we want YOU in the celebration! 🎉
The parade kicks off at 10:00 AM from Central and Wellesley, heading east on Central from Girard to San Mateo (about two miles).

Here's how you can join the fun:
🦺 BE A SAFETY MONITOR. We need 8 volunteers, one for each axle of the truck and trailer, to keep our truck, float, and marchers safe along the route.

🚶 MARCH WITH US. We're hoping for at least 6 marchers, but the more the merrier! Marchers will hand out ORCA swag (it always goes fast), and we'll provide aprons with pockets to carry it all.

👋 RIDE IN COMFORT. Not up for walking? The trailer has six chairs with your name on them. You will be tested on your British Royal wave. 👑

All safety monitors and marchers get a free ORCA tee shirt to wear in the parade, while supplies last. We'll also have water and lightweight, pretty parasols on hand (also while supplies last).

Ready to join us? Email [email protected] and tell us how you'd like to take part. See you on Central! ☀️

We refuse to be invisible.

That's not just a slogan; it's a promise.

ORCA is a volunteer-run organization built by and for LGBTQ+ older adults in the ABQ metro area.

Our mission: social support, advocacy, and community for those who helped build the q***r world we live in today.

They showed up for us. Now we show up for them. 💜
