| Truly a nexus of our community, The Center is committed to cultivating opportunities for individuals to become involved. We are confident that volunteerism and civic participation are at the heart of individual and community empowerment.

A key component of the Center's mission is to nurture small and emerging groups and those serving marginalized groups within our community.
Latino Forum provides an invaluable platform for the Latino/Latina LGBT communities. We are working as individuals and organizations to foster our unity and advancement through educational, cultural, social, political and leadership development activities. The basis of our efforts is rooted in our Latino/a heritage and queer pride.
SFTEAM is active in commemorating the heritage of transgender people, empowering and nurturing transgender and gender-variant individuals; and increasing visibility to promote positive social change.
And Castro for All (AC4A) is dedicated to fostering a genuinely welcoming Castro neighborhood and broader Bay Area community by promoting awareness and dialogue about bias within the LGBT community and exposing actions that undermine inclusion.
The Center seeks to foster civic participation (political education, debates, and voter registration), leadership development (volunteer training, mentoring and referral), and access to information and resources.
These efforts strengthen the LGBT community's already vital spirit of volunteerism. As a central resource for volunteerism, The Center is an intermediary, linking volunteers with other LGBT organizations, as well as providing volunteer opportunities at The Center.
The Center also aims to actively enhance and fortify allied organizations by offering a range of direct technical assistance, meeting rooms, office space, and event space.
