WAYS TO VOLUNTEER, PARTICIPATE and CELEBRATE WITH GMHC
GMHC's volunteers, clients, board members, staff (and loved ones) will be participating in the LGBT Pride events throughout the summer. It is important that we are well represented at these events.
There are various ways you can help during these events. Whether you are distributing materials at a GMHC table during an event, or marching in a parade with the GMHC contingent, most volunteer shifts are approximately five hours (not including travel time to/from event). A teeshirt will be provided to all those who volunteer/work at an event.
Here are the opportunities:
- Marching during a parade/march
- Carrying/not carrying a poster
- Handing out materials along route
- Supervising contingent during a parade/march (Marshal)
- Helping to keep contingent together—not separated by traffic lights, etc.
- Distributing bottled water and posters
- Dispatching instructions from Pride committee members along route and police
- Tabling during a festival for a shift
- Set-up/break-down of booth
- Distributing materials
- Talking with the general public about GMHC services
If you would like to help at an event, please call (212) 367-1016 or send an e-mail to krishnas@gmhc.org. There will be two Pride Event Orientations where you can learn more about how we work at these events.
Pride Event Orientations!
Please join us at one of the orientations on Thursday, May 29, 11 am to 12 pm in Room 905, 9th floor OR Tuesday, June 3, 6 pm to 7 pm in Room 905 (9th floor) at GMHC.
