The Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Affairs (MOLGBTQA) is excited to welcome volunteers for this year’s District of Pride Showcase on Wednesday, June 17.

This annual celebration honors two decades of LGBTQIA+ leadership, visibility, and cultural impact in the District—and volunteers play a key role in making the evening shine.

MOLGBTQA is seeking eight (8) volunteers to support essential event operations, including:

On June 19, 2026, Ward 7 will serve as the flagship city for Opal’s Walk for Freedom — honoring the legacy of Ms. Opal Lee and celebrating five years of Juneteenth as a federal holiday — followed by our second annual parade along the historic Branch Avenue corridor.

We’re looking for at least 50 volunteers to help us make this celebration safe, joyful, and unforgettable. Whether you support Opal’s Walk, assist with parade assembly, serve as a route marshal, or help with post-event clean-up, your presence makes this possible.
