At The Center, we believe that all LGBTQ+ youth deserve to celebrate who they are, what makes them unique, and why they matter. We provide a safe, inclusive, affirming environment where LGBTQ+ youth can connect with peers, build leadership skills, and take care of their mental and physical health.
Youths ages 13-22 are welcome to participate in our in-person and virtual programs, services, and events. Everything we offer is free and confidential.
