San Diego Pride

Pride Transportation Ambassadors are essential in ensuring a smooth and welcoming arrival and departure experience for Pride attendees. Stationed at designated shuttle stops, volunteers will use radios to communicate with other stops and leads about shuttle schedules, attendee needs, and any logistical updates. Volunteers will also assist in directing attendees onto shuttles and providing information about routes and destinations. This is a great role for energetic, customer-service-oriented individuals who enjoy engaging with the public and helping guests navigate Pride events.

Medical volunteers will be responsible for providing basic first aid and BLS medical care to pride staff and volunteers who are helping set up the San Diego Pride Week events of as well as attendees of events. Volunteer positions are also available for administrative support of the Medical team.

All San Diego Pride BLS medical volunteers are required to possess a minimum of an active Basic Life Support (BLS) certification from the American Heart Association (AHA) or the American Red Cross (ARC). Hospital equivalents like RQI and BART are also accepted, but no other BLS certificates will be accepted. It is not required for the medical volunteer to be a healthcare worker. All certificates must be emailed to medical@sdpride.org for verification. There will be trainings for the medical volunteers as well.
