Welcome to your virtual Pittsburgh bulletin board with volunteer opportunities, events to mark your calendar for, and more:

📌 Want to support your LGBTQ+ neighbors? Proud Haven on the North Side is looking for volunteers to help make the 50th Pittsburgh Pride celebration memorable for everyone this Friday through Sunday.

📌 Are you a fiber artist? Ketchup City Creative in Sharpsburg is curating a July exhibition focused on the powerful act of mending. The call for artists reads: “Vulnerability is a prerequisite to heal or to change something — to tenderly hold and expose the areas of rupture or regret. But to sit with what is broken while opting against the patch job is a powerful endeavor, especially to see it through when the stitches feel repetitive and slow-going.” The deadline to enter is June 11.

📌 Celebrate National Trails Day this Saturday with 3 Rivers Outdoor Co. and the Rachel Carson Trails Conservancy by helping with cleanup in Emmerling Park and trail maintenance on the Rachel Carson Trail.

📌 Didn’t get tickets to the Eras Tour? That’s okay. You can put on your best look for a Taylor Swift-themed tea time with Adda Coffee and Tea House at Atithi Art Gallery on June 26.
