Berkeley Lab is participating in the 2024 SF Pride Parade on Sunday, June 30th and we hope to have 100 volunteers help us represent the Department of Energy’s collective commitment to diversity in a very public way. You will be marching alongside the Lab’s pride parade float and representing Berkeley Lab. All are welcome to march with us, so please feel free to bring your friends and family to march as a community that supports our commitment to science and diversity.
If you plan to bring family and friends to march at the parade, let us know by adding a note when you select one of the shifts. Once you respond to the opportunity you will see a box that says “additional volunteer information.” Please add all names of family/friends that will be joining us at the event so that we have an accurate headcount.
Please note: All employees are responsible for the actions of any friends and family they bring to the event.
