Pride
Volunteers
2010 marks the 40th anniversary of the San Francisco
Pride Celebration & Parade. The theme is "Forty and
Fabulous" and the event will be held over the
weekend of June 26 and 27, 2010. The
two-day Celebration & Parade is the largest LGBT
gathering in the United States. Such a large
community event couldn’t take place were it not for
the more than 1,000 volunteers who help in the
office, at the Parade, and on the Celebration site.
San Francisco Pride values quite deeply the diversity of our communities
and the accessibility of the event. To make the
event economically accessible to people of all
economic backgrounds, San Francisco Pride does not
charge an entrance fee to the Parade or Celebration. Additionally, volunteers make a very direct impact
on Pride's capacity to support non-profit groups and
to give back to the community by helping us to
maintain a safe, exciting, and economically viable
event. Volunteers have helped Pride to return over
$1.6 million dollars
back to the community since 1997.
Volunteer Perks
In addition to having an opportunity to meet dozens
of other community-minded individuals, volunteers
enjoy a number of perks. These include:
- an invitation to the Volunteer and
Member Appreciation Party where volunteers
will have the
chance to win numerous prizes and enjoy free food
and
entertainment
- meals and water at Pride
- a gift bag filled with various
goods from Pride's sponsors
- access to a private rest area at
Pride with restroom facilities
- a volunteer tee-shirt (sizes depend
on availability)
Office Volunteers
Pride is currently looking for Office Volunteers.
The Pride office is the central planning location
for the 40th anniversary of the Pride
Celebration & Parade. With the help of our creative
and supportive Office Volunteers, this year will be
one of the most exciting ever. Volunteering in the
office can be done on a one-time basis, over a
period of a few days, or as an on-going, weekly
occurrence. Our office is open
from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays. If you want to
be a part of the fun, please contact us at
volunteers@sfpride.org
or call 415-864-0831 ext.110 with your availability.
