Our Mission
Chico State Pride is more than just an organization; it's a beacon of hope, inclusivity, and empowerment for LGBTQ+ students and allies. For nearly 50 years, we've dedicated ourselves to fostering a safe, welcoming space on campus where all students can engage in respectful discussions about LGBTQ+ issues, educate the broader student body, and develop into leaders who champion diversity and inclusion. As we prepare to celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we're proud to reflect on our journey as one of the oldest continuously operating LGBTQ+ student organizations in the country. Our dedication to political advocacy, education, and socialization has never been more vital.
