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 13-21 are welcome to participate in our in-person and virtual programs, services, and events. Everything we offer is free and confidential.
Drop in to make friends and connect with those who share common experiences. Join us at The Center. We can't wait to meet you!
