The Pride Leadership Council is a group of students who volunteer in a variety of leadership and advocacy roles across campus as representatives of the CSU LGBTQIA+ community. PLC meets regularly with staff of the Pride Resource Center to provide feedback on campus and center initiatives/programs and to continue developing as leaders and advocates of our community.

Visible Voices is an educational program that is styled as a speakers bureau (panel) made up of CSU students, staff, faculty, and community members who volunteer to share about their experiences and coming out stories. This popular program has been a valuable educational tool used to inform others about the often misunderstood issues surrounding LGBTQ+ youth and their families, and to serve as possibility models for younger LGBTQ+ people.

Our volunteers speak in classrooms, CSU department meetings, high school and middle schools GSAs, youth groups, local faith organizations, and more.
