Volusia Pride Youth and Family

Our Youth & Family programming is dedicated to creating welcoming, affirming spaces where young people can connect, grow, and thrive. Through opportunities for community building, leadership development, mentorship, education, and support, we work to nurture and empower LGBTQ+ youth, their allies, and their families.

We also offer family-friendly events and activities that bring people of all ages together, creating opportunities to build relationships, strengthen support networks, and celebrate our community. Whether someone is seeking connection, resources, guidance, or a place to belong, our programs are designed to foster confidence, celebrate identity, and help build the next generation of leaders.

Volusia Pride Youth Council
The Volusia Pride Youth Council is a three-member leadership group made up of young people who will help shape, plan, and lead youth-centered programming with Volusia Pride. Youth Council Members will bring their ideas, lived experiences, creativity, and leadership to help ensure that activities are engaging, affirming, inclusive, and responsive to the needs and interests of LGBTQ+ youth in our community.
