Matt Skallerud's insight:
KRL: Can you give us a little more info as to what you offer at the Center? The Source: We offer a space to LGBT+ people where historically there has been a lack of spaces outside of bars and clubs. Our drop in center is the largest program we offer. Visibility, support, and fun are key to a healthy community. We host weekly 12-Step meetings, social events, peer support for HIV positive people, Transgender Resources for parents and gender nonconforming individuals, clothing exchanges, and a new LGBT+ Leadership Academy for ages 14 and up. We provide cultural competency trainings for schools, government agencies, clinics, and mental health professionals. We host PRIDE Visalia, and our annual Halloween Ball and Gala.
