Join Our Team.

The following roles are some of the ways we are looking to expand the Pride and Plasma team. However, we will take all the help that we can get while fighting for equality in health care and blood/tissue donation. If you have ideas on how to help, send an email to [email protected] , we're always happy to talk. 

Campus Ambassador Program.

We need college students across the country to mobilize their campuses and inform their peers about the blood ban- and lead others to join our cause. 

Spreading the Word

We'll give you drafted emails to send to campus organizations like the LGBTQ Center, Colleges of Nursing/Medicine/ Health Sciences, Greek Life, and more; gaining partnerships to spread the word of the issue and participating at events.

Showing our Size

We'll help you contact area medical facilities, plan blood drives, and contact the Representative for your university's district. The number of participants joining you will help show the validity of our movement.

Working Together

This movement is too big for one person, one team, or even one state. We'll design a plan that works on a national level, and adapt it with you based on the most effective strategies for your school. 

Want to Learn More?

Fill out the survey at the link below and we'll send you our toolkit on getting started and building a base of your own. We'll connect you with other ambassadors in the area if possible and hold zoom calls to talk and build a nation-wide network of leaders.

Send an email to [email protected] with your background, relevant experience, and how you'd like to help us fight-

We Highly Encourage Queer Men, Trans/Nonbinary Individuals, and those with a healthcare/policy experience to apply

Area Coordinators.

Over the Past 6 Months, We Reached out to 300 LGBTQ Community Centers, 70 Blood Banks, and countless other organizations. Emails and Zoom Meetings don't hold as much of an impact as in person connections and building upon existing relationships. We can always use more feet on the ground. Are you a community leader?- help us mobilize in person

What We're Looking

​For

  • Connect with local blood centers to spread the word and gain testimony on the issues impacting them. Post flyers and business cards in queer spaces, LGBTQ community centers, queer-owned businesses, and table at events

Current Areas Served

We currently have team members located in:
  • California
  • Illinois
  • Ohio
  • Arizona
This position does not require in-person work and can be done completely remote- however, in person partnerships and staffing at events can help get our name out there in new ways
