Central Valley Pride
Central Valley Pride is serving the Central Valley's LGBTQ+ community with authenticity, integrity and pride. We seek to engage, impact, and empower our expansive community through peer support groups, community activities and events, and professional development workshops. We serve all ages, and feature a Youth Initiatives branch that provides free LGBTQ+ books for local schools and libraries and free youth events and parties such as Pride Prom. CVP annually organizes a Flag Raising Ceremony, the Merced Queer Film Festival, PRIDEfest, TDoV, and TDoR events. We also have initiated the Central Valley Coalition for Trans and Gender Diverse Equality- the largest LGBTQ+ coalition in the area. We are located inside the Multicultural Arts Center on Floor 3, Room 5.
