Join us in building a vibrant, inclusive, and justice-driven Rochester Pride on May 17! We’re looking for volunteers who share our commitment to creating safer spaces for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities—spaces rooted in equity, advocacy, and celebration. Volunteering at Pride means more than lending a hand—it’s about standing up for reproductive freedom, gender-affirming care, and the right of every person to live their truth.
Whether you’re passionate about lifting up marginalized voices, helping the day run smoothly, or simply showing up with love and solidarity, there’s a place for you on the team. Sign up today to be part of this powerful day of action, joy, and community!
