All Are Welcome
Here at the Minnesota Pride Rotary Club, our hearts unite with the LGBTQIA+ community and allies, creating a space that embraces everyone with warmth and acceptance, where all voices are heard and valued. Members consider each other as Chosen Family.
Our Purpose?
Our mission is amazing! We're dedicated to nurturing a vibrant and dynamic community of leaders committed to making a lasting, positive impact on the world around us. In the process, we provide support to homeless youth who are disproportionally from the LGBTQIA+ community.
