VOLUNTEER The Pride Center is a special place to volunteer. Through the Infoline, the dozens of support groups and programs, and the social activities at the Center, we make it possible for people just “coming out” to feel less alone and frightened. For those of us who are already “out,” PCNJ provides a wealth of information, programs and services. When you join our family of volunteers at PCNJ, you help everyone along this spectrum. Whatever your reason for volunteering – to meet new people, gain work experience, or give back to the community – giving your time to PCNJ can be a richly rewarding experience. Several volunteer opportunities are available. See below for a full listing. If you are interested in volunteering,
please fill out and submit our online application. You may also send
