Description

In 2008, UWCO initiated Pride Leadership to increase volunteer opportunities for people in the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual & Transgender) community. The program aligns with the UWCO organizational key principle of Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion. Currently, the program involves an intense eight-month training curriculum designed to prepare participants for effective service on a not-for-profit board or leadership position. The intent is to give people in the LGBT community a much-needed voice in community leadership particularly as the make-up and demographics of our community continue to change. Joel was part of the first cycle of graduates of Pride Leadership.
