Hear From Our Amazing Partners
"The LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert is more than just a place to get resources; to me they are family. They have been there for me during the good times in my life and have consoled me during my hard times. They gave me and my organization a voice, supported me on things I wanted to do for the community, and were there for me when I lost loved ones in my life. They will always have a special place in my heart and will always be more than just a partner, they’re my family."

"Since our inception, The LGBTQ Center of the Desert has supported us and helped us to grow in our mission to empower Black gay men and allies in the Coachella Valley. They offered us space to convene our first groundbreaking annual wellness summit in 2019 and continue to allow us to use their beautiful offices in Palm Springs for our monthly member and board meetings. The Center staff and management have also supported us on many of our other events and we are committed to find ways to partner and collaborate with them in the future."
