The 9th Annual & 2012 Boulder Pride event will be held September
16.
To achieve our vision, our mission is to foster safe
environments for self-expression, gathering, support, and
dialogue; advocate for social justice; collaborate with others
who share our vision; celebrate the contributions of the many
facets of our community; and educate the public about the
experiences of LGBTQ people.
History of Out Boulder
In 1994, several LGBTQ community organizations in the City of
Boulder collaborated on a series of events to celebrate Gay
Pride. This collective was called Boulder Pride. As the LGBTQ
community grew, the need for the organization to broaden its
purpose grew, as well. Boulder Pride After becoming a state
tax-exempt organization in 1999, Boulder Pride received a grant
from the Gill Foundation to secure a community center and offer
services to the LGBTQ community of Boulder County. The Community
Center, now known as “Pride House,” opened its doors officially
in 2004 and began offering programming to LGBTQ people in
Boulder County.
 Despite the year-round nature of Boulder Pride’s work, the
organization remained too exclusively associated (in the
public’s mind) with the annual PrideFest block party. Better
publicity was called for and as a result, in September 2010, the
organization changed its name to Out Boulder. The new name
better reflects the broad range of events, programs, and
services that the organization facilitates beyond the original
PrideFest. Despite the name change, OutBoulder’s community
center will still be called Pride House and the annual block
party will still be PrideFest.
Through the consistent and dedicated efforts of board, staff and
community, Out Boulder has steadily grown every year, thus being
able to provide a more diverse array of services and programs to
our community. With over 150 active, engaged volunteers, we are
truly a community-driven organization. We look forward to
working together with you! |
