Chicago: Volunteer at Pride Fest

Event Description

Our Chicago group is heading to the heart of Northalsted to represent the design, construction, and real estate industry at Chicago Pride Fest! This is more than just a festival; it’s a massive opportunity for us to build visibility for queer and ally professionals and welcome new faces into our family. By volunteering at our booth or helping at the entry gates, you aren’t just representing Build Out Alliance—you’re actively helping us grow our network and securing direct funding to keep our mission moving forward. Expect a weekend filled with high energy, meaningful conversations, and the unparalleled joy of celebrating who we are in the city we love.

Chicago Pride Fest takes place in Chicago’s Northalsted neighborhood, with the festival footprint centered along Halsted Street. Booth volunteers will work from the Build Out Alliance festival booth, while gate volunteers may be assigned to one of the entrances (Halsted & Addison, Halsted & Waveland, and Broadway & Waveland).

What To Expect

• Vibrant Visibility: Chat with festival-goers about our mission and help queer professionals find their community.
• Gate Greatness: Spend a few hours at the entrance gate on Saturday to turn your time into direct funding for our organization.
• Fresh Threads: Snag an exclusive Build Out Alliance pride shirt as a thank-you for your time and energy.
• Hydration & High-Fives: We’ve got you covered with water, sunscreen, and plenty of snacks to keep your spirits high.
• The Best Seat in the House: Enjoy the festival atmosphere from the best vantage point while making a real impact.
