Job Description
ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW
Pridelines’ mission is to support, educate and empower South Florida’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ+) youth and community in safe and diverse spaces to promote dialogue, wellness, and to foster social change. Pridelines, a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is South Florida’s oldest LGBTQ+ direct services agency and Miami’s LGBTQ+ Community Center. We provide safe and affirming programs and services for LGBTQ+ youth and South Florida’s LGBTQ+ community, primarily those who are disproportionately impacted by social determinants of health, with an emphasis on queer youth and young adult experiencing or on the verge of homelessness, people living with or affected by HIV, and people of transgender experience.
HISTORY
Pridelines is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded by gay and bisexual youth for LGBTQ youth and their allies in the wake of Anita Bryant’s “Save Our Children” campaign. Rooted in a peer-led/adult-facilitated youth group model, and with the help of Dr. Marilyn Volker, Peter Meyer, and other concerned adults, the group began meeting at Miami-Dade College in 1982. In 1999 the group incorporated, moved into its own space and changed its name to Pridelines Youth Services.
Fundraising efforts quickly increased, Health Department contracts soon followed, and programs grew contributing to the growth of Pridelines Youth Services. Pridelines was one of the first community-based HIV testing sites in Miami-Dade County. More than 35 years later, Pridelines continues to provide safe space, social support, skills building, leadership development and referrals to mental health, health care and support services for LGBTQ youth and their straight allies throughout South Florida.
Today, the agency has grown and matured just like our youth. In 2015, Pridelines Youth Services shortened its name to Pridelines, reflecting our desire to support the lives of all members of South Florida’s LGBTQ community. We will continue to ensure that our LGBTQ youth have the support they need, while also committing to doing so throughout their lifetime. As we grow, Pridelines will expand programs and services for adults and families to provide life-long support for our community.
