ECC Pride Week
WELCOME TO ECC PRIDE WEEK 2026!
Join the LGBTQIA+ Pride Center and the Gender Sexuality Alliance (GSA) club for Pride Week from May 17- May 22, 2026!
Please, see our flyer and mark your calendars for our upcoming events!
Join us as we celebrate Pride Week at El Camino College from May 17–22! This special week honors and uplifts our LGBTQIA+ students, staff, faculty, and community through a vibrant series of events centered on celebration, education, and visibility.
Pride Week is more than a celebration—it is a powerful affirmation that every individual deserves to be seen, heard, and valued for exactly who they are. It is a space where authenticity is embraced, community is strengthened, and belonging is made visible.
Together, we celebrate the beauty of diversity, the courage of living authentically, and the ongoing pursuit of equity and justice for all.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you. All are welcome. All are valued. All belong.
