Seattle Pride Supports LGBTQIA2S+ Youth!
LGBTQIA2S+ youth, no matter where they are on the gender or sexual identity/expression spectrum, deserve to be celebrated, loved, and supported.
They also deserve to be heard.
Youth Voices & Vision
Seattle Pride is excited to launch the 2026 Youth Voices and Youth Visions contests — two opportunities for LGBTQIA2S+ youth ages 12 to 18 to share their creativity, perspectives, and imagination.
Youth Voices is Seattle Pride’s youth fiction writing contest, inviting young writers to submit original stories that reflect their lived experiences, hopes, and creative worlds. Youth Voices uplifts emerging writers and centers youth narratives as an essential part of our community’s cultural life.
Pride Internship
Seattle Pride and Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center are co-hosting the 4th annual Pride Internship Program!
The 2026 Pride Internship will seek six enthusiastic LGBTQIA2S+ youth (ages 16–22) to help shape an inclusive space for queer teens and young adults at Pride in the Park on June 6, 2026. Through this program, interns will gain invaluable hands-on experience in event planning, teamwork, budgeting, and creating safe, welcoming environments for their peers. Applications will close February 23, 2026!
