Schenectady Pride is a community group affiliated with the Pride Center of the Capital Region. Originating in May 2012, we are focused on building bridges and bringing awareness to and for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies.
Pride is more than a moment—it's a movement. With recent administrative changes, your partnership is now more critical than ever. Your support will ensure we can continue providing vital services, expand our programs, and maintain the safe and affirming spaces that empower LGBTQIA+ individuals and families.
As we look ahead to 2025, we're excited to continue to support our year-round commitment to celebration, connection, and inclusion. Your support is crucial in uplifting our community, protecting our rights, and fostering meaningful change.
