Our Mission

Driving positive change for the LGBTQ+ community in the Yakima Valley and Central Washington by educating, elevating, honoring, and celebrating through transformative cultural experiences, powerful advocacy, and a commitment to a brighter future.

Our Vision

Through unwavering dedication to education, advocacy, and cultural celebration, Yakima Pride will be a driving force in realizing this vision. Together, we will create a world where diversity is not just tolerated, but cherished.

Equality reigns: No individual faces discrimination or prejudice based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. Everyone enjoys equal rights and opportunities in all aspects of life.

Barriers are shattered: Systemic and societal hurdles that obstruct LGBTQ+ progress are dismantled, paving the way for full inclusion and acceptance.

Voices soar: The vibrant tapestry of LGBTQ+ experiences is woven into the fabric of our community, celebrated and amplified through powerful advocacy and transformative cultural expression.

Art ignites change: Arts and culture become catalysts for understanding, empathy, and social progress, fostering a society where everyone can live authentically and proudly.

Diversity thrives: The rich mosaic of LGBTQ+ identities is embraced as a source of strength, resilience, and inspiration, enriching our community and propelling us towards a brighter future.

Yakima Pride is run solely by committed volunteers from around the Yakima Valley. Our funding comes through community donations, grants, and sponsorship.

Yakima Pride is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status and Federal EIN # 84-1745033.
