The Stanislaus PRIDE Center is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors composed of a diverse group of community leaders. The Board’s primary function is to maintain the integrity of the organization’s mission.

Board members also serve to identify fundraising opportunities, ensure fiscal accountability, and promote the Center’s services, activities and goals.

If you are a qualified community members interested in serving on the Board of Directors or one of our committees please contact us.

Board meetings are held on the second Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at the Center. There is a ten-minute "public comment" portion of each meeting; to apply for a spot on the agenda please contact us!
