The Pride Network strives to develop a more involved and informed LGBTQ community through leadership programs and practical solutions that build, educate and empower sustainable community networks. Core Values: We believe that being proud of one’s own identity is a fundamental human right. We believe that pride is a core component in well informed and empowered individuals and communities. We believe that informed individuals create and contribute to a healthier community. We believe that strong leadership is essential to individual’s and communities’ growth and development. We recognize that diversity and inclusion is integral to any process of community building, and will honor the experiences of all individuals, regardless of identity or experience. We believe it takes just one individual to create a positive impact, and will empower anyone willing to step up to a position of leadership and bring real impact on lives in our communities. We believe effective organizing and community development require genuine collaboration, coalition building, and the creation of sustainable networks. We recognize that media and social networking play a vital role in the construction of movements, and are committed to innovative and responsible use. We support movements, communities, and people who are also working toward social justice in any of its forms, and we continue to be committed to justice for all.
