Uniting Pride
Uniting Pride leads in the creation of a community where all who hold historically and actively marginalized gender and sexual identities can live fulfilling, joyful, healthy, and vibrant lives.

Our annual Pride Fest is the 2nd largest in Illinois, and our programming gives the whole community a chance to come together.

Our volunteer-run groups give community members of all ages a chance to make connections and get the support they need.

We work with businesses, schools, healthcare organizations, non-profits, faith groups, and more to build LGBTQ+ cultural competency.
