ten is the magic number for Family Pride

At lot can change in a few years.
When I was interviewing for my current job at Family Pride, there were four staff members. That was a year and a half ago.
Now, we have more employees that that in our Programming Department alone. Today marks Julia Bean’s first day of work at Family Pride as our tenth staff member. Julia joins us as a Program and Education Associate. She earned her BA in Sociology from the University of Maine, and has extensive experience in mentoring and volunteering in diverse communities. Bean is an adult child of a lesbian mother who volunteered during Family Week in Provincetown.
Jenn Chrisler, our Executive Director commented on our explosive growth:
I am thrilled with the addition of four highly qualified and dedicated new staff members. Nina, Daniel, Ariana and Julia bring a diverse and extensive set of skills and experience to Family Pride and will make us all the better at working with and representing LGBTQ families. Our continuing growth will allow Family Pride to reach more LGBT families, make further progress in educating the community and advance our rights across the country.
Kudos the Family Pride team, and to all of you who make our work possible!
