The Utah Pride Center (UPC) has been part of the fabric of Utah LGBTQ+ life for over 29 years. The vision of the Center is “to ensure a thriving LGBTQ+ community in Utah.” Utah Pride Center services include mental health services, adult focused programming, senior programs, resources for youth, an annual Pride celebration, and community space. Utah Pride Center opened its doors in a beautiful new space in 2018. UPC is governed by a 17-person Board of Directors and a dedicated staff of 15.

Research shows that members of marginalized groups – including women, LGBTQIA+ identified people, Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) – tend to apply to jobs only if they meet every single requirement listed. Here at Utah Pride Center, we want the best candidates for the job, and those candidates don’t always meet 100% of the qualifications listed. If you are passionate about uniting, empowering, and celebrating diverse LGBTQ+ communities for all and breaking down barriers for equity, we encourage you to apply – especially if you’re a member of a structurally marginalized group. We look forward to your application.
