Volunteer with us!
The UOAA and UO Student Recruitment team will be co-hosting a booth at the Portland Pride Festival and welcome volunteers to serve at the booth alongside our UO Pride alumni. Volunteer shifts are two to three hours, and you do not need to be a part of the UO Pride Alumni Network to volunteer. Volunteers engage with festival goers, hand out rainbow rubber ducks, and have a great time!

About the Portland Pride Festival
2025 PORTLAND PRIDE THEME: DREAM BIG
Dream Big is a simple invitation for the Portland and Pacific Northwest LGBTQIA2S+ community to see a future with no limits. This aligns with the Portland community being a hub of activism, celebration of artistic expression, and identity. We want people to pursue their dreams unapologetically and utilize the PRIDE CELEBRATION as the engine to kickstart an idea or cross the finish line on a community goal. A strong underscore of this theme is the need for solidarity, collaboration, and the idea that big dreams can lead to a significant societal change.
