Poolesville Pride is a social club. We are an open group of residents celebrating Queerness, fostering an inclusive and diverse community, and committing to the safety and well being of our local 2SLGBTQIA+ residents in the Town of Poolesville and the surrounding Agricultural Reserve.
We are actively defying stereotypes for small rural communities. We are making visible the diversity and creativity that thrives here. We are strengthening our local queer community by building bridges, organizing allies, and raising awareness.
We connect with and support our youth through leadership training and mentorship.
We mobilize allies to create meaningful change that will increase visibility and support for our 2SLGBTQIA+ residents.
