2018 Annual Report
2018 was a year of progress at The Center. We forged lasting partnerships, launched exciting new initiatives, expanded our programming and more—all in support of our community.
This year, we were proud to:
Form statewide partnerships and build a network through our RiseOut advocacy program to advance the rights of LGBTQ New Yorkers and demand protections for our most vulnerable community members. The Center launched the RiseOut People’s Platform to represent a shared vision of justice and equity for the future of the LGBTQ community in New York State. Community leaders from every region in New York worked in collaboration to develop this inclusive, people-centered plan.
Expand our HIV services by adding a case manager to support community members living with HIV and increasing our HIV testing hours to five days a week, thanks in part to a record-breaking year for Cycle for the Cause, our annual AIDS bike ride from Boston to NYC.
Launch our first-ever career fair for transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) community members, in addition to our first-ever TGNC-specific family building event, and provide resources on family building and employment opportunities through our LGBTQ Career Fair and Family Building Expos.
Find, preserve and share the untold stories of the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and the early years of the LGBTQ rights movement. With support from Google.org, The Center gathered, digitized and archived this crucial history. The stories will be included in an interactive monument in honor of the 50th anniversary of Stonewall.
Increase services for LGBTQ immigrants with our Queer Immigrant Mentorship program and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes for Spanish-speaking community members.
Support our largest-ever cohort of youth recovery program participants and empower LGBGTQ youth with inclusive sexual health education, leadership development programs and more. The Center also launched a TGNC in Recovery Group, providing a safe and supportive space for TGNC community members to address substance use.
