North Jersey Pride produces events and activities to promote inclusivity, equality, awareness, and understanding in the upper Garden State. Our activities coalesce our diverse communities, and their mem​bers gay and straight, around the shared goals of tolerance, respect, and empathy, empowering young people to become pro-active citizens; businesses to become active community partners; and families of all make-ups to become allies for one another. Our unique community festival offers safe, family-friendly entertainment and fun for all. Throughout the year, North Jersey Pride will work in partnership with LGBT leaders in their campaigns for more stringent anti-bullying laws and for full marriage equality in the state of New Jersey. North Jersey Pride is a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

Rad Kids is a social and educational group for gender-fluid/gender-creative and transgender youth and their parents. The group offers a safe space for gender-fluid children and teens to be completely themselves and for parents to share their challenges, joys and questions. This project is fully funded by North Jersey Pride.

We were a very proud sponsor for this wonderful event to help fund NJ Pride Month events and programming for RAD Kids, NJP's social support network for families of transgender and gender-fluid youth.
