Volunteer

 

Join us at TAOS PRIDE 2012. The Pride Planning Board meets all year long but it takes nearly 30 volunteers to make the Parade and Pride in the Park happen. Get involved and you can make a difference in how successful TAOS PRIDE is for everyone. It is a great way to meet people if you are new in town and want to see how Pride is run. There are several positions and locations at pride you can participate.

 

There are many volunteer opportunities at our other events throughout the year besides Pride in the Park and the Parade. Please let us know if you are interested in participating at other events through out the year. Thank you!
