LGBTQ+ Resource Center

Only 5 of the  115 California Community Colleges (<5%) have professionally-staffed LGBTQ+ resource centers.  For points of comparison, all but one of the University of California and nearly half of California State University campuses have LGBTQ+ resource centers.

LGBTQ+ or Pride Centers on campuses serve a multitude of roles and fill a number of specific needs that current services and facilities do not. They:
  • Provide safe campus spaces for anyone regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity/presentation, ethnic heritage or cultural background.
  • Provide a safe place for students and employees coming out to find peers and support.
  • Provide a confidential place for trans* individuals to use new gender pronouns.
  • Publicly affirm a college's commitment of support - and efforts to achieve equity - for LGBT+ students and employees.  
​
The supporting documents below provide detailed and thorough arguments highlighting the need for LGBT Resource Centers.
