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.

Elders

We are pleased to be the local home for OWLS (OUT Wilmington LGBTQ+ Seniors) whose primary objective is to improve life for older LGBTQ+ people in our community. The LGBTQ Center offers targeted, inclusive programs, outreach, and support to our 50 and over LGBTQ+ members.
