The current management staff of Nijiro Kazoku consists of the following seven people.
We also have members and volunteers helping out during events.

An organization based in Osaka called QWRC irregularly holds an event called "Tea Party for Children and Adults," which brings together sexual minorities who are raising children and people in that field.
