Manchester Proud Staff

Manchester Proud achieves great progress with remarkably modest overhead. Uniquely, our work is accomplished by initiative-specific Work Groups, composed of Council members and informed volunteers from across our community. It is the collective strength of our volunteers that enables Manchester Proud’s success with a paid staff of only 1.5 FTE’s.
