If you feel passionately about The Gothic LGBTQ Community, and you’re willing and able to donate time and energy to help others feel included, we would love to meet you.

Gothic Pride Seattle, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, has a need for volunteer board members whose primary focus is to further foster the vibrant Gothic community in Seattle. We need passionate people to coordinate events, create graphics, and work with social media; but most of all, we need others to help us be a positive guiding force toward acceptance and support in Seattle.

Previous nonprofit experience is great, but passion to learn is key. Being on the board of G.P.S. is a great way to gain experience, meet wonderfully creative people, Most of all, it’s a way to show that no matter one’s orientation, fashion, or skill level, we can create a strong caring supportive community together.
