50-plussers
I have come out of the closet as a person over 50. How do I talk about it with those around me?
Coming out of the closet later in life can be a profound event for yourself and those around you. Talking about it with people who have been through the same thing can help. Volunteers from Switchboard offer a listening ear and you can meet like-minded people in the Roze 50+ groups we organize: www.roze50plus.nl.
You can also meet people who identify with your situation at https://orpheusnederland.nl/
I would like to organize something for Pink 50+ people. Can I get your help with that?
Yes, we would love to hear about your initiative at [email protected] and support where possible. For example, by putting you in touch with the ambassador in your region.
How do I apply for a Pink Carpet certificate?
Read the information at www.rozezorg.nl and sign up on the website. We will then contact you.
What exactly does it entail to be a Pink 50+ ambassador?
The Roze 50+ ambassador network is a diverse network of about 80-100 volunteers. This network is facilitated by the Pink 50+ Foundation and is the core of our work and commitment to lhbti+ seniors. The ambassadors are the "eyes and ears" of Roze 50+ and they represent the constituency of lhbti+ seniors in the Netherlands. They work on a local, regeional and national level and have a signal function when it comes to lhbti+ seniors. They represent the interests of lhbti+ 50+ with policy makers and institutions, organize activities and offer a listening ear. Would you like to be part of this network, request an information package via [email protected]
I am looking for lhbti+ elders for my research as a student, can you help me get contacts?
We can post a call for you on social media, contact [email protected] to do so.
I would like to organize a class for care and welfare students about lhbti+ older people, can you help with this?
Our Pink 50+ ambassadors are happy to provide a guest lesson to students about lhbti+ elderly and lhbti friendly working in care and welfare. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
I would like to organize an information session at my healthcare facility. How can I do that?
Pink50+ ambassadors are experienced educators and would be happy to provide education or training at your healthcare facility to employees or clients. Please contact [email protected] for an appointment.
Do I have to be 50+ to become an ambassador?
No, nor do you have to be an lhbti+ person. Of course, it is important if you have an affinity for the subject.
