Have you been looking for volunteer opportunities at GRPC? Well look no further as we need your help!

Come hang out with us on Saturday and help move furniture, clean office spaces, rake all the old leaves from last year away, and anything else we may need to get the building back in tip top shape!

Simply come as you are and we will assign you a task that you are able to do. (If you have any rakes feel free to bring your own if you want to help with leaves.)

Image description: Purple & white text on an orange background with autumn-colored leaves to the right side. Text says, "Call for volunteers! Come help GRPC clean up the building and parking lot to help prepare the new hang out space we want to create.! Saturday, Sept. 24th, 10am - 2pm."

$We are very excited to announce our inaugural Prism Awards 2022 hosted by the Grand Rapids Pride Center! We are very grateful to each and every person who has supported GRPC over the years whether that be our founding friends, volunteers over the years, any one who has served on our board of directors, our first staff, and especially anyone who is currently working or volunteering for GRPC today! We want to acknowledge and celebrate our vast community and we want to do it with your help! Do you know someone that works hard for the LGBTQ+ community but is never recognized? Have you ever found yourself wishing you could be nominated for an award but realizing most awards are very gendered? Well we created this awards ceremony with those goals in mind. Let's start nominating folks and/or businesses that deserve credit and recognition for all that they do for the LGBTQ+ community. Our nominations will be open until Sept. 30th so please share the link below and let's make it happen! https://forms.gle/UUFjjHdDFncgZi3x7 Further details about the date, time, and location will be announced very shortly! Stay tuned to learn more!!! Also, if you are interested in potentially being on the awards selection committee please reach out to Jazz @ jazz.mckinney@grpride.org or Lucy at lucy.dyerjoswick@grpride.org Image description: A multi-colored triangle in subdued tones of rainbow colors with the words "Prism Awards" in the center.
