I need some advice for my daughter

She is 22. She is looking for a good LGBT rights activism group in Eastern ( preferably southeastern) Mass. Can anyone suggest a good place for her to start? I tried doing some looking online but quickly realized that I have no idea what groups are good or well organized or still active here.

Any suggestions?

Equality MA is likely to be a good state level group. HRC is a good national level general group. Courage is also a good national group.

She wants to be able to meet new people and work hands on.

They may have some good leads. I'm sure there are community groups as well. I grew up in Southeastern MA, but left before I was active in the community. I can't be of anything more than general help unfortunately.

These may help some but I can't vouch for them... http://home.earthlink.net/~semassactivist/GLBT.htm
