Gay for Good mobilizes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) and ally volunteers to promote diversity, foster inclusion and strengthen ties to the broader community.

The name Okaeri reflects the belief that no matter how long or how far you have traveled from the JA community, you can always return home and be welcomed, as it references the Japanese terms tadaima (ただいま) “I’m home” and okaeri (お帰り) “welcome back/welcome home.”
