BECOME A DIAMOND WAVE ADVISOR

Help shape the future of nonbinary creativity, culture & belonging.

Diamond Wave is looking for people who care deeply about nonbinary community to help shape the future of nonbinary culture.

We're especially excited to welcome nonbinary advisors, while also inviting allies who want to meaningfully support this work.

If you've ever wished there were more spaces where nonbinary people could create, connect, laugh, learn and simply feel at home... so have we.

Founded in 2018, Diamond Wave is a fiscally sponsored project of Independent Arts & Media. Following a year-long strategic planning process, we've focused our mission on one goal: fostering nonbinary creativity, culture and belonging.

Now we're inviting new volunteer advisors to help build what comes next.

For questions, please reach out to Director Vin Seaman at vin@diamond-wave.org.

Priority Applications due: Sunday, August 9

Applications then accepted on a rolling basis.
