Orientation scheduled for tomorrow is being rescheduled to March 30 due to the weather
Each month South Coast LGBTQ Network will highlight a volunteer who has impacted the LGBTQ community through volunteering with South Coast LGBTQ Network. The first volunteer that we would like to recognize is Traci Welch.
Traci Welch is a Board member and an active volunteer for South Coast LGBTQ Network. Traci volunteers 10-15 hours a week, depending on community events, speaking engagements, Co-Producing/Co Hosting and research for The LGBTQ Voice.
Traci stated she volunteers because she wanted to make sure our youth center was financially supported so our children always had a home and a voice. “Knowing our Youth and Elders have a better life and more possibilities for a better tomorrow fills my heart. Volunteering makes a difference in their lives and in mine. Giving my time and seeing the difference we make is the biggest personal benefit I receive. Our kids are going through so much, that's why I'm an Adult Adviser and help when I can.”
“Volunteering at Pride 2017 was my most memorable accomplishment so far. We all worked so hard together and Pride was amazing. We had an after party at Le Place. I love Pride day, seeing all the ages of our community come together is amazing. Through volunteering you make a difference in the LGBTQ community. I have helped attribute to changing people’s lives and have made many new friends.”
