HELP US MAKE HALIFAX PRIDE HAPPEN

More than 150 volunteers from our community work together each year to plan, host, and coordinate Halifax Pride. Here’s how to get involved:

FESTIVAl & EVENT VOLUNTEERS

Festival Event Volunteers work alongside Volunteer Leads and staff to help set-up and run the events and initiatives that make Halifax Pride fabulous. No experience is necessary, but a short training session is required.

We look for volunteers in some of the following areas:

  • Event set-up

  • Ticketing

  • Line control

  • Closed space hangout support

  • Merchandise sales

  • Sustainability Team (clean up)

  • Parade marshalling

  • Accessibility support

  • Hospitality support

    NEW THIS YEAR:

  • Guest Feedback Team - connects with festival guests to gather quick feedback, answer basic questions, and help improve the Pride experience. They’re friendly, approachable, and great listeners.

  • Community Care Team - supports late-night Pride events by checking in with guests, offering water and info, helping de-escalate low-level issues, and creating a safer, friendlier environment. They are not security or first aid, but a visible, approachable source of support.

Volunteer Perks

  • Free transit during the festival

  • Discount at the Halifax Pride merch tent

  • Free water, drinks, and snacks during shifts

  • Chances to win fun prizes and gift cards

  • Volunteer hangouts before and after the festival
