 🌈 It’s time for a Queer Homecoming — and you’re invited! 🏳️‍⚧️

We’re officially welcoming this year’s Pride Begins volunteer crew, who’ll be in Riga for a whole month to support the Queer Museum, join Riga Pride events, and contribute their magic to our growing queer community. This is a moment to connect, celebrate, and kick off a summer of queer joy , creativity, and solidarity.

Pride Begins is one of Active Rainbow’s most loved projects — and for good reason. It brings together young people from across Europe to co-create inclusive, intersectional, and celebratory spaces through youth work and queer culture.

Come hang out with us and share a cozy evening together! We’ll be bringing snacks, tea, coffee and vibes, bring your beautiful self— and feel free to invite your friends!
