Youth Volunteer Positions for the Day of the Event — QYLA 2023

We are looking for volunteers for the 26th Annual QYLA. If you have an hour or two during the day on Saturday May 13, 2022 at New Brighton Middle School (in-person and outdoors at the Quad), please contact us at YouthVolunteer@QYLA.org or (831) 427-4004.

Volunteer as a team or join one of ours! Sign up to volunteer with your friends, club members, or other groups and work on a task together. We can even feature the name of your organization or group at the table you are working at. Youth volunteers can attend QYLA for free and enjoy dinner with us.

I’m glad to be part of an event that brings people together, gives visibility to queer youth, and creates history in my city. Important changes come with each generation, and it is our turn!
