Our Mission
The mission of the Virginia Boys of Leather is to serve and support the kink, leather, and LGBTQIA+ communities. The term ‘boy’ is defined broadly with the intent of being as inclusive as possible, and not based on sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, or appearance. Grounded in the values of service, collaboration, and inclusion, we aim to create spaces where boys of service can grow, lead, and thrive.
Our Vision
To connect and cultivate a community of boys who honor the traditions of Leather while shaping its future through mentorship, education, and service. We envision spaces where every boy can grow in confidence, connection, and purpose, strengthening the broader kink and queer communities.
Our Values
The Virginia Boys of Leather are grounded in three core values that shape how we show up for each other, our community, and the spaces we create together:
We embrace a spirit of service — to each other, to the Club, and to the broader kink, leather, and LGBTQIA+ communities. Service is central to our identity and drives our commitment to contribute meaningfully wherever we can.
Service
We believe our strength comes from working together. Through open communication, shared leadership, and collective decision-making, we create a community where every voice matters and our diversity fuels innovation and connection.
Collaboration
We are committed to fostering spaces where all members feel seen, valued, and respected. We actively work to dismantle barriers, celebrate differences, and ensure that everyone — regardless of identity, background, or experience — has an equal opportunity to belong and thrive.
