Youth

We know that our youth need compassion, support, and love when navigating what it means to be a part of the greater LGBTQ+ community. At the LGBTQ Center we provide programs, events, and support for all, including youth ages 12-18.

Older LGBTQ+ folks

We are pleased to be the local home for SAGE (Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Elders) whose primary objective is to improve aging for LGBTQ+ people nationwide. The LGBTQ Center offers inclusive programs, outreach, and community to our older LGBTQ members.

Community

The LGBTQ Center is committed to supporting and working with individuals, businesses, and organizations that help us fulfill our mission of addressing the needs of our LGBTQ+ community.
