Make pride happen!

The Portland Pride Waterfront Festival and Parade wouldn’t be possible without help from our volunteers. There are many opportunities for folks of all abilities to volunteer with Pride Northwest. Below are some of the roles we are looking to fill. Please note that we cannot guarantee that your first choice shift will be available. If you are interested in volunteering for Portland Pride 2025, please fill out the volunteer sign up form below. You can also sign up to our volunteer email list to be kept in the loop for important updates and opportunities not just for Pride, but all year round!
