Become a Pride Fellow

The Pride Fellows Program is an internship and leadership experience designed to connect emerging leaders with real-world opportunities. Through community-based research, hands-on projects, and meaningful engagement, Pride Fellows gain practical skills while contributing to lasting social impact.

Opportunities may include program development, event coordination, youth leadership support, advocacy initiatives, and organizational capacity-building. Fellows also take part in community-based research, helping to identify local needs, elevate community voices, and inform data-driven strategies that strengthen services and support systems.

This program is built to help students grow as changemakers, developing professional skills, deepening their understanding of LGBTQ+ issues, and becoming active partners in creating a more inclusive and equitable Volusia County.

Current Pride Fellows

  • Asher serves as our Policy and Advocacy Fellow, focusing on keeping our community informed about legislative issues that impact LGBTQ+ individuals across Volusia County and beyond. He works closely with our Advocacy Committee to interpret and explain new policies, helping residents understand how proposed legislation could affect them. Asher also builds bridges with local and state political leaders, ensuring that Volusia Pride has a seat at the table in conversations about equality, safety, and justice.

  • After serving as our Youth Leadership Fellow and helping to develop the OUTfront Youth Leadership Program, Noel has stepped into a new role as our Story and Impact Fellow. In this position, Noel is leading the production of a 10-year anniversary documentary that will highlight the incredible growth, resilience, and influence of Volusia Pride over the past decade. Through interviews, archival footage, and storytelling, Noel is ensuring that the history and heart of our movement are preserved and celebrated.

  • Ariel is streamlining the administrative side of Volusia Pride to make our organization more efficient and connected.
