Yakima Pride, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is dedicated to creating a vibrant and equitable community for LGBTQIA+ individuals across the Yakima Valley and Central Washington. We acknowledge and celebrate the diverse identities within our community, including the unique experiences of Black, Indigenous, and Latine/Latinx individuals.
Led by a dedicated all-volunteer board, we work to empower LGBTQIA+ lives through impactful education, strategic advocacy, and inclusive cultural experiences. We are committed to fostering a future where all LGBTQIA+ individuals, including those from historically marginalized backgrounds, are valued and respected.
We recognize the importance of intersectionality within the LGBTQIA+ community and strive to create spaces that honor and uplift all voices. The generous support of community donations, grants, and sponsorships allows us to sustain and expand our vital programs.
Join Yakima Pride in our mission to build a more inclusive and just community for all LGBTQIA+ people.
Driving positive change for the LGBTQ+ community in the Yakima Valley and Central Washington by educating, elevating, honoring, and celebrating through transformative cultural experiences, powerful advocacy, and a commitment to a brighter future.
Yakima Pride was born from a simple, powerful belief: that every person in the Yakima Valley deserves a place to belong. What began as a grassroots effort by a few dedicated neighbors has grown into a resilient, vibrant organization. Through hard work and a commitment to our shared values, we are building a lasting safe harbor for the LGBTQ+ community in Central Washington.
Our history is still being written every single day.
