Campus Pride is the leading national nonprofit organization dedicated to building future leaders and creating safer, more inclusive communities for LGBTQ people and allies at colleges and universities.  

Founded in 2001 by nationally-recognized LGBTQ civil rights leader and campus pioneer Shane L. Windmeyer, Campus Pride is proud to call Charlotte home and is the only national Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning (LGBTQ) youth organization based in the South.  

Campus Pride believes strongly in investing in its community and shaping LGBTQ youth advocacy across the country.   The organization offers a wide variety of programs and resources for students and prospective students, including the Campus Pride Index, HBCU Clearinghouse, Trans Policy Clearinghouse, Lambda 10, Stop the Hate and Safe Space trainings, and the annual Camp Pride leadership camp.  

WHO WE SERVE  

Campus Pride works annually with more than 1,400 colleges and universities, including two-year and four-year, and both public and private institutions, with 60% of those campuses located in the South and/or in rural areas. The organization’s work directly serves more than 126,000 young adults (ages 18 - 26), and supports 3,600+ staff, faculty, and administrators each year to improve quality of life and the campus climate for LGBTQ youth at campuses across the country. 
 


The organization is the preeminent resource for LGBTQ leadership development, diversity inclusion and advocacy within higher education. 

Campus Pride continues to build on its signature programming while launching innovative new initiatives.  
 


 

OUR PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES 

Campus Pride is proud to present a broad array of programmatic offerings that engage youth communities on campuses across the country, including: 

 • Campus Pride Career Connect. Campus Pride Career Connect goes beyond the traditional jobs board or career fair, instead offering employers the opportunity to help mentor and develop the LGBTQ talent of tomorrow. Campus Pride Career Connect is a one-stop career engagement portal creating meaningful, authentic relationships between employers and LGBTQ young adults. Launching Fall 2022.  

• Camp Pride. Campus Pride’s annual summer leadership camp for LGBTQ students, Camp Pride, is the premier national training academy for social justice and grassroots activism for LGBTQ and ally young adults. 

• Campus Pride Index: The Campus Pride Index is the premier national benchmarking tool for colleges and universities to create safer, more inclusive campus communities.  

• HBCU Clearinghouse: The Campus Pride HBCU Clearinghouse provides the most current policies and implementations for every HBCU in the country, in an effort to highlight and encourage the positive work being done on these campuses.  

• Safe Space Trainings: Campus Pride’s Safe Space program is nationally recognized for providing the training and signage for institutions committed to supporting LGBTQ students.  

• Stop the Hate Program: Campus Pride’s Stop the Hate training program, developed in partnership with the Anti-Defamation League, Association of College Unions International, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Center for the Prevention of Hate Violence, the Matthew Shepard Foundation, and the Wilbron Institute, reflects Campus Pride’s commitment to provide social justice tools for combating bias and hate crimes in all forms. 

• Social Justice Mini-Grants for Student Leaders. Campus Pride launched a new initiative for student leaders to apply for social justice mini-grants for activism (up to $600) to help further their work to make campuses safer and more welcoming for LGBTQ students.
