Join a Committee
We are looking for enthusiastic people wanting to make a difference in our 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Being a member of a volunteer committee is a great way for queer members and allies to connect and engage with the community, gain non-profit experience, and be a part of planning Pride Week in Kelowna!
We have three volunteer committees, and you can join one or all of them!
