Volunteers are the heart & soul of our organization!

Pacific Pride Foundation’s goal is to create change and impact within our community; we firmly believe that improvement starts from inside. Community members have the power to take action and be the change they want to see. That is why volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization.

Volunteers Needed for the 2023 Pacific Pride Festival!

The Pacific Pride Festival, taking place August 26, 2023 at Chase Palm Park Field from 11am-7pm, could not be possible without the help of countless volunteers who selflessly devote their time. By volunteering at this special Pride at the Beach event, you are supporting Pacific Pride Foundation’s commitment to ensuring a vibrant, thriving and visible LGBTQ+ community for all.

There are several volunteer opportunities to meet your interests and availability including support with general set up & check in, stage management, greeting festival attendees, selling tickets & merchandise, clean up, and much more!

“Volunteering is retrieving to the soul and to the community when you enjoy helping others it doesn’t ever feel like a job. There are people who deserve to be helped, seen, and heard and volunteering is a great start to help those voices rise.” – MJ, PPF volunteer
