Welcome to the April edition of Pride Center News! As the world bursts into color, we embrace this season of renewal, growth, and hope. Spring reminds us that change is beautiful, and that community blossoms when nurtured with care and love.

In this issue, we’ll share inspiring stories, upcoming events, and ways to engage in advocacy that moves our mission forward. Whether it’s celebrating visibility, supporting one another, or simply soaking up the sunshine, we are here to grow, uplift, and thrive—together.

Let’s step into the season with pride and purpose!

David discovered PCNJ in July 2024 after a significant life changing event. His therapist suggested that The Pride Center of New Jersey may be a start in finding a group of Gay Men of his “generation.” David attended a few different groups, and it became clear that this Pride Center was so much more than he imagined.  After attending the Board of Trustees meetings and training for the role, David was elected as the Recording Secretary - Executive Committee. David's recent life journey led him to this opportunity, adding purpose to his life while empowering others in our Rainbow Community. In addition to working with the community and supporting the Board of Trustees, David enjoys spending time with his 2 dogs, knitting, and joining events with friends. As a bonus to his friends, David loves cooking meals to share with those he cares about most.
