Why it matters:
Build affirming communities
Creating a Sacramento region where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other LGBTQ+ people can thrive requires a shared commitment to equity, inclusion, and social justice.
LGBTQ+ communities are diverse and intersectional. We can create safer, stronger, and more equitable spaces for everyone by educating and empowering ourselves to challenge the systems of oppression that disproportionately harm those most marginalized within our communities.
Through outreach, education, training, and consultation, the Center works to increase LGBTQ+ visibility, understanding, and access to affirming services throughout the Sacramento region.
Create spaces of belonging
Inclusive workplaces, businesses, public accommodations, schools, health and social service settings are essential to our vision. Every LGBTQ+ person deserves to be respected, affirmed and able to participate fully in their community without fear of discrimination or exclusion.
Our Training Institute partners with organizations to turn that vision into practice. We offer expert consultation, cultural humility training, equity audits, and inclusive policy-development support tailored to your organization’s needs.
Whether you serve employees, customers, students, patients, clients, family members, or community members, we can help you build environments where LGBTQ+ people feel seen, respected, and supported.
