Volunteer Opportunities From: Volunteer Center of Washington County

Help Us Make Washington County Pride Happen!

The 5th Annual Washington County Pride Celebration is only possible because of amazing volunteers who help create a welcoming, safe, and joyful experience for everyone who attends.

We're looking for volunteers to join us on Sunday, August 9 at Riveredge Nature Center, and we especially need a few community champions to fill some of our most important roles:

Registration at the shuttle parking lot – Be the first smiling face attendees see as they arrive! Help guests check in before they board the shuttle to Pride. Set-Up Crew – Help us transform Riveredge into a vibrant celebration before the festivities begin. Clean-Up Crew – Stay after the celebration to help return the venue to its natural beauty. Many hands make light work!Photographer - Help us capture special moments!

Of course, we also have opportunities to help with crafts, games, concessions, parking, and more throughout the day.

Whether you can volunteer for a few hours or spend the day with us, your time makes a real difference. Together, we can create a family-friendly, sober-friendly celebration where everyone feels welcome and celebrated.
