Volunteer
PRIDEChicago, the all-volunteer organization responsible for producing the iconic Chicago Pride Parade, is committed to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community where LGBTQ+ individuals and allies can come together to celebrate, support, and inspire one another.
As one of the largest Pride parades in the nation, the Chicago Pride Parade proudly features 150 contingents and brings together nearly one million people, all united in a shared celebration of love and unity.
We’re thrilled to invite you to join the celebration and support our mission of creating a world where everyone is free to live as their authentic selves.
We are seeking friendly and enthusiastic volunteers for the 55th annual Chicago Pride Parade on Sunday, June 28, 2026. Volunteers play a vital role in ensuring the event runs smoothly.
Applications are accepted year-round. Shift sign-up timelines are shared in advance of each event. Applications must be submitted through VolunteerLocal.
Volunteers are the Heart of Pride
The all-volunteer PRIDEChicago Board of Directors honored the 150+ volunteers who made the 2025 Chicago Pride Parade shine with an afternoon of food, drinks, and prizes at My Buddy’s in Uptown. Volunteers are the heart of PRIDEChicago—our parade simply wouldn’t be possible without your passion, energy, and commitment.
