About St. Louis Queer+ Support Helpline (SQSH)

SQSH is hiring to expand our programs and strengthen our operations! Are you interested in diving into a hands-on, collaborative role as part of the queer liberation movement in St. Louis? Join our young, rapidly growing grassroots collective. We are piloting new, innovative, and intersectional approaches to healing justice, youth empowerment, Black & brown liberation, storytelling, systems change, and community-building work.

SQSH’s Vision: We work towards a liberated St. Louis Metro Area where people of all genders and sexualities live with safety, power, and abundance.
SQSH’s Mission: SQSH strives to build the St. Louis queer/LGBTQIA+ community’s capacity for peer support, community care, healing justice, storytelling, advocacy, education, shared leadership, and systems change.
SQSH’s Values: At SQSH, we are committed to using an intersectional, anti-oppressive, and community-driven approach in our work. SQSH’s work focuses on finding synergies between micro-, mezzo-, and macro-level strategies; our success is inherently tied to the collective liberation of all oppressed peoples.

SQSH strives to be a radical, inclusive, rigorous workplace & political home for queer St. Louisans who are passionate about movement-based work for collective liberation and social justice.

Workplace Culture We believe in accountability, accessibility, transparent and shared decision-making, building trusting relationships that can weather principled disagreement, transformative justice approaches to conflict, bringing our full selves into work and community, and being trauma-informed and survivor-centered.
Flexible Weekly Schedule Full-Time Staff select 4-6 days of the week to work remotely on a semi-consistent* schedule, with some room for flexibility and negotiation depending on other staff’s schedules. We offer flexible work schedules and remote options to promote work-life balance and accommodate diverse needs.
COVID Policy In alignment with our disability justice values, we believe that working remotely during a pandemic should be the norm and not the exception. We will ask for proof of vaccination, require masking, encourage social distancing, and invite you to participate in other COVID-cautious steps that are accessible to you to help protect the safety of SQSH’s staff, volunteers, and community – especially our disabled, chronically ill, and immunocompromised siblings. We will consider requests for medical, religious, and/or other identity-based exemptions from the vaccination requirement on an individual basis.
