Continuing our support and connection to Youth Pride, Inc.
Pride Month is more than a celebration. It’s a moment to lead with empathy and show up with heart. This June, we continued our partnership with Youth Pride Inc., a Rhode Island-based nonprofit that creates safe, affirming spaces for over 700 LGBTQ+ youth every year. Throughout the month, (add)venturists donated supplies to help stock the organization’s Basic Needs Pantry with food, hygiene products and other everyday essentials. For many young people, it’s more than a pantry. It’s a source of stability and hope.
At our headquarters, we continued our tradition of rainbow flags planted along the front of our building. And our rainbow-painted crosswalk marks the way to our front door all year long. These aren’t just design choices, they’re affirmations. Visual reminders that here, belonging isn’t an abstract idea that happens once a year. It’s part of the experience. We tell every visitor: you’re seen, you matter and you’re welcome. This is what culture looks like at (add)ventures. It’s showing up with intention. With integrity.
