Join Queer Northshore’s Committees

 Queer Northshore has grown fast and while our core team of five has been holding it down, this community is officially bigger than a small group can carry alone. That’s a beautiful problem to have.

We’re inviting you to join our new Queer Northshore committees and help shape the future of this community. Committees guide how we organize, how we show up, and how Pride and our year-round programs continue to evolve.

Whether you bring specific skills, lived experience, organizing energy, or just a big love for queer community on the Northshore, there’s a place for you here. Take a look at the committees below and tell us where you’d like to plug in.
