Volunteer Opportunities for Pride Month
We’ve got a lot going on this summer, including in-person events, phone banking for trans rights, and our Pride Month fundraising initiative, and we need your help! Take a look through all the opportunities below, and sign up for whatever interests you!
Help out with our in-person Pride Month events!

Help out with our outdoor Gala in August!
We are thrilled to be hosting our annual Gala as an outdoor event at Thompson’s Point in Portland at the end of August! We’d love to have your help, particularly if you have experience with event planning, fundraising, business solicitation, volunteer recruitment/management and more.
The planning team will work from June through August to get ready for the event, and we’ll need an even bigger team of volunteers leading up to and including the day of the event.

Maine legislators will be voting soon on three bills that are targeting trans women and girls. We need your help to put pressure on our lawmakers before then to make sure they oppose attacks against our trans community.
