Adult Programs (18+)
The LGBTQ Center’s social and support groups celebrate diversity by uplifting our community in a safe and affirming space. Center Groups are led by trained facilitators and staff, and provide opportunities for community members to find support and access resources. Our groups are open to everyone regardless of gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, or romantic orientation.
We encourage those who are interested in attending a Center Group to review our group offerings and select a group that speaks most to their experiences.
