Would you like to discover some of your hidden talents and further your development while helping others? We would love to have you as a part of our passionate team: attend our meetings, organise interesting events and, of course, help us build and expand the LGBTQI+ platform at the heart of Leiden!

Leiden Pride is a growing non-profit organisation, searching for energetic board and team members to fill a wide variety of vacancies.

You are aware of what your team is working on and offer support, advice, and help to ensure that cooperation between teams runs smoothly and follows Leiden Pride values and guidelines. Working in the marketing team means you may have some periods of less work followed by a week requiring more flexibility, perfect for creative bursts! As a coordinator, you also have a position on the board, representing your team when necessary. Being part of the board is a great way to help the community, ensuring that we are able to fulfil our goals and responsibilities to Leiden Pride!
