Black Pride Events in Baltimore, MD STAR TRACK is a HIV/STI program within the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. We set out to create safe-space events to cater to youth and young adults between the ages of 12-24. While many institutes of higher education are familiar with Baltimore Pride Fest, an annual summer event, few are aware of Black Pride which occurs in October. We are proud to say that we support and contribute to both by creating events that focus on young adults.  This year we will host a  Karaoke night as well as a self-defense/work-out session.  Knowing students’ ravenous appetites, pizza will be available at the karaoke event. In addition, both of our events will be held in downtown venues for transportation accessibility. In addition, on Sept 27th we will be tabling and testing for HIV/STI on Goucher College’s campus. This event like the others is open to the community.   More information on each event can be found on the attached flyers.

We are looking for people interested in our development, organizing, communications and political programs. This is a great opportunity to experience the inner workings of politics and elections and to make a difference for the LGBT community in your day-to-day work. Interns will get hands on experience working on exciting organizing and outreach initiatives and will be on the front lines in our work to achieve true and lasting equality in the Free State!

Interns will help to advance Equality Maryland’s two key initiatives - defending marriage equality at the ballot box in November, and enacting anti-discrimination protections for transgender Marylanders. Interns support the work of Equality Maryland’s volunteers and coalition partners, including assisting staff, managing lists, organizing field activities, and responding to the needs of members. All Interns will receive trainings on an on-going basis as well as opportunities to hear from leaders in the fight for equality. Interns will have the opportunity to work closely with Equality Maryland staff and to take on independent projects.
