Committees

Our committees are chaired by members of the Board of Directors in accordance with CK Pride’s By-Laws and support the organization’s programs, operations, and strategic priorities.

Committee involvement is different from general volunteering. Members are expected to participate consistently, contribute to planning and decision-making, and complete any required orientation or training.

The first step in getting involved with CK Pride is simply to show up. We encourage people to attend events and programs to get to know the organization and community.

CK Pride follows a “Right Person, Right Place” approach to volunteer engagement. While all committees are important to the organization, not all committees are actively recruiting new members at all times. Some committees operate on a project or task basis, while others require specific skills, experience, or ongoing commitments.

People interested in committee involvement are encouraged to connect with us, attend activities, and learn more about the organization. Committee placements are based on organizational needs, volunteer interests, skills, availability, and capacity.

General volunteer opportunities typically involve practical, hands-on tasks such as event cleanup, washing dishes, tidying community spaces, light maintenance, & other projects at Bill’s Place.
