The NEPA Rainbow Alliance both manages and supports a variety of programs in the Greater Northeastern Pennsylvania region.
When the organization manages a program, that means the Rainbow Alliance serves as the key leader on the project, assuming the majority if not all of the responsibility for the program’s success. Rainbow Alliance staff manage the program. When the organization supports a program, the Rainbow Alliance provides some level of financial, staff, or in-kind support to the program, but does not hold the responsibility for the program’s success alone.
Programs We Manage:
- NEPA PrideFest – The largest public gathering of LGBT community members, allies, supporters, vendors and exhibitors, and performers in Northeastern PA.
- NEPA Rainbow Awards – Recognizing the support of the LGBT community, the Rainbow Awards serve as a way for us to reward those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in supporting LGBT programs and equality of Northeastern Pennsylvanians.
- NEPA SafeZone – Our newest program, set to launch in late 2011, will provide needed services to LGBTQ youth in the region. The pilot program will be forged in Luzerne County.
Programs we Support:
- Pride of NEPA - Northeastern Pennsylvania’s Pride of NEPA has existed, in various forms and names, over the past two decades. Pride of NEPA serves as the region’s social action, service and gathering organization. The Rainbow Alliance provides as-needed support to the organization.
