Youngstown May Day Festival

05/17/2026

We are calling for volunteers for the 2026 Pride season!

We will be hosting a 2 part training on May 26th (virtually) and May 31st (in person) to train up a some new volunteers to help out with our Community Greeters at Pride this year!

If you've been to the Pride festivals in the Mahoning Valley the past couple of years, you've probably seen us in our yellow vests, being helpful, directing traffic, giving out water, and giving folks directions! This is a great way to lend a hand to the community and help event goers have a great time!

After completing this training, you will be able to sign up and join us with helping and providing a smiling, friendly team for the various Pride Celebrations in our communities. If you'd like to help out, send us an email at [email protected] with the subject "Pride Community Greeters" to get trained!
