The 28th annual Michigan Pride attracts thousands of people from around the state to celebrate the LGBTQ community and its allies. In order to make Michigan Pride happen, more than 100 volunteers are needed. For the past 25 years, the Lansing festival, to include a march and rally, have been sustained by the power of volunteers. Michigan Pride is looking for volunteers to become a part of their rich tradition by helping out for a few hours on June 17. A volunteer shift – anywhere between two and six hours – encompasses a variety of duties and time commitments between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. Opportunities to volunteer with friends or family are available, and shifts are based on skill set or special needs, if any. Michigan Pride volunteers will receive a T-shirt to wear during their shift. For more information or to register, visit the Michigan Pride website or email [email protected].
