LGBT Center of Central PA

HISTORY

In 2004, a strategic planning group “broke ground” on the concept of our new home. They surveyed the LGBT community to understand the needs, interests and opinions of the people. They studied the feasibility of an LGBT regional community center. Through a number of facilitated and self-driven sessions, participants accepted the idea and created a framework for moving forward with a Board of Directors to further the idea. The Board has been meeting monthly since November 2006.

In January 2007, The Center launched its website, elected officers and created committees to further its mission.

In January 2009, The Center merged operations with central PA's LGBTQ youth-serving organization, Common Roads. In February 2010, The Center became the fiscal sponsor of Lancaster Pride.

In May 2012, The Center announced its move to Midtown Harrisburg.
