Pride Alliance Partner Organizations
These are groups that do not fall under Pride Alliance, as they have been or are registered separately with SORC and SGA. However, Pride Alliance often works closely with other LGBTQ+ groups on campus, so we are happy to share their information with you as well.Click here to return to the main Pride Alliance website!

We Skate at UMD
Hello, we’re We Skate at UMD, a skate club created with the purpose of encouraging more women, non-binary, gender nonconforming, and LGBT Terps to skate! Our goal is to create a safe space in a community that can be very exclusive and intimidating. Skating is for everyone! Whether you have never stepped on a board, or you’re a veteran, we want to skate with you! We have monthly General Body Meetings (open to everyone) on the last Friday of every month, and we occasionally meet weekly to hang out, study, skate, or go on skatepark field trips on the weekends. Check out https://linktr.ee/weskate to join our Groupme, Discord, and/or Mailing list, and follow us on instagram @weskateumd for updates. Hope to see you on wheels soon!
