About GenPride

GenPride was built by and for a generation of LGBTQ+ people who figured life out together. We learned how to create community where none existed, advocate for their rights, care for one another, and navigate systems that were unwelcoming, actively hostile, or simply absent.

This generation of LGBTQ+ people, now age 50 and older, didn't wait for the world to be ready. We organized, built, advocated, and cared for one another. Today, this first "out" generation is once again in uncharted territory as we grow older in systems that were not designed with us in mind.

The generational qualities of LGBTQ+ elders, getting shit done, taking risks, challenging norms, and being determined and resourceful, are foundational to GenPride's culture. 

Our work is grounded in a queer, intersectional, and power-building approach to aging. We center LGBTQ+ elder leadership and are committed to increasing belonging, safety, joy, and power for LGBTQ+ older adults.

The Volunteer & Elder Experience Coordinator reflects this spirit and these commitments in their efforts to support LGBTQ+ older adults live with safety, belonging, purpose, and joy.
