HELP US MAKE HALIFAX PRIDE HAPPEN
More than 250 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
Community Care Team
Volunteer Perks
Free transit during the festival
Discount at the Halifax Pride merch tent
Water, snacks, and meals during shifts
Free tickets to a Wanderers FC game
Chances to win fun prizes and gift cards
Volunteer hangouts before and after the festival
And more!
