As an LGBTQIA+ centered agency, our vision is for The Center to be a leader in the Seven Rivers Region in bringing pride, equity, and social justice to the LGBTQIA+ community and beyond. The growing climate of queer- and transphobia makes it even more important to assure that we do so in ways that both provide needed support and allow us to sustain our capacity to provide that support well into the future.

In 2024, The Center will be celebrating and remembering 20 years of being a community resource throughout the seven rivers region. We look forward to continuing our decades long tradition of creating affirming spaces, offering high quality education, and advocating for the LGBTQIA+ community.  

Since 2004, The Center: 7 Rivers LGBTQ Connection has been working on behalf of the LGBTQ community to develop and expand understanding of human sexuality, gender identity and the need for equal treatment.
