Important Volunteer Tips

Flexibility is Our Friend!

• We try our best to match your preferences, but sometimes specific needs arise. Your adaptability and willingness to jump in make a huge difference!

Ready, Set, Volunteer!

• Before each event, we'll equip you with the knowledge you need to shine. You'll receive training and orientation, and a dedicated volunteer manager will be there to support you on-site.

Reliability is Key!

• Life happens, we get it! If you can't make your volunteer commitment, please let us know ASAP so we can find someone awesome to fill your spot.

Respectful Vibes Only!

• We create a safe and inclusive space for everyone. Let's keep it positive and celebrate diversity with kindness!

All Are Welcome!

• Whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or are a passionate ally, your open-mindedness and commitment are what matter most.

Under 18 and Eager to Help?

• Parental consent is a must, but with that, you too can join the fun! Contact us at volunteer@yakimapride.org for more details.

Learn, Grow, and Make a Difference!

• Volunteering is more than helping out – it's a chance to connect with the community, discover new skills, and be a part of something truly special.

Self-Care is Essential!

• Take care of yourself, hero! Get enough sleep, stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and don't hesitate to ask for a break.

Celebrate After You Serve!

• Once your volunteer duties are complete, let loose and enjoy the festivities! It's your event too!
