As the foundation for connection, The Center is where we celebrate the invaluable contributions the LGBTQ community has made to arts and culture throughout history.
We provide the only outpatient substance use treatment program specifically for the LGBTQ community and licensed by the NY State Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment.
From mental health to physical health, HIV and AIDS prevention and support to gender identity, The Center is here to help you enhance your quality of life, and to support you in addressing life’s challenges.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your connection to each other or explore starting a family, you’ll find services and programs created to support and guide you at The Center.
Here, you’ll always be among friends and supporters. For LGBTQ youth ages 13–21, we provide a safe environment where you can connect with others who share your experience—and prepare for your future!
Access a wide range of general, NYC and professional resources so that you can find the LGBTQ-specific support and service options you need to lead the happy, healthy, connected life you deserve.
The Center is the cornerstone of our LGBTQ community in New York City. Each year, more than 400 community groups come here to meet and make connections, find support systems and to take advantage of our many resources. Want to know what The Center has for you?
