Take part
You don't need to be an activist or a leader. You need to care about your neighbours — and be willing to show up. Every act of respect makes Pocatello too great for hate.

The heart of our work is volunteers — facilitating conversations, hosting gatherings, sharing information and showing up for each other.
Your organisationchurches · schools · groups
Congregations, schools, businesses and community groups multiply our reach. Partnership means sharing information, coordinating action and speaking with one voice.
Your voicefrom your own corner of town
Change starts in everyday life — in how we talk, listen and respond when someone is treated unfairly.
Small acts, big difference
Show up at a community dialogue and listen. Presence is participation — you don't need to speak.
Bring respectful conversation to your dinner table, congregation or workplace. Understanding spreads person to person.
Share educational materials and good news about the community with people who might not be reached otherwise.
Help with a gathering, bring food, lend a room — practical support makes events possible.
You know someone who should meet someone. Being a connector is quiet, powerful work.
When you witness insult or exclusion, don't be silent. Stand with the person harmed and name what's wrong.
Who shows up
Volunteers, workshops and good conversations — this is what taking part looks like.
For organisations
We connect individuals and organisations who share one goal: a Pocatello where every person is safe and respected.
Congregations, interfaith groups and faith leaders — opening doors, hosting conversations and modelling respect across traditions.
Teachers, classrooms and education partners who carry the work of respect and critical thinking into the next generation.
Advocates, social-action groups and local leaders building a shared voice for fairness and inclusion in southeast Idaho.
Public agencies, libraries and civic bodies that keep the door open to everyone who lives here.
Employers and shops that model inclusion in hiring, service and community sponsorship — where people spend their days.
Individuals who simply care about fairness and want to be part of the solution — the backbone of everything we do.

Common questions
Absolutely. Most of our volunteers start with no experience — they just cared enough to show up. We provide orientation and you can start with the smallest role that feels comfortable.
As much or as little as you can give. Some volunteers help at one event a year; others join a committee that meets monthly. There's no minimum — we'd rather have you once, well, than not at all.
Yes. 2 GREAT 4 HATE is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 46-5354977), so donations are deductible to the extent allowed by law. We're a volunteer-run organisation — gifts go directly toward gatherings, materials and outreach. See our impact page for how funds are used.
Yes — partnership is how we grow. Reach out through the form above or email [email protected] and we'll talk about co-hosting, sharing space or joining our alliance.
Of course. Plenty of our work needs no microphone: setting up chairs, making calls, sharing posts, translating materials, being a friendly face at the door. Every role matters.
