The Center of the Community

The Center is the hub that links individuals and programs to each other and to the community. San Francisco is rich with organizations and agencies serving specific needs of the LGBT community; and now, The Center connects them to provide a more unified, holistic approach. Rather than duplicating existing services, The Center works to enhance and promote them, fostering connections among service providers and insuring that people in need can find them. Through the scope of its mission and resources, The Center has a distinct role to strengthen both individuals and institutions in San Francisco’s LGBT community. The Center develops programs that encourage peer leadership and focus on empowering individuals to be active participants in building a shared community.

The Center’s programs focus on the following areas:

• Arts, Culture & Social Activities
