About

Using our individual lived experiences and collective power, we strive to nurture and support our community.


Our Vision

Our vision is to create a vibrant community of love and support that stretches beyond our Center’s doors, where we strive to meet all members of the LGBTQ community where they are and provide them the services they need to thrive.


Our Mission

Our mission is to provide an open and welcoming environment for all members of the LGBTQ family. Through the use of our individual lived experiences and collective power, we host community events, assistance programs, and various other forms of support in our efforts to create a loving community where everyone belongs.



The Center Coachella primarily serves as a safe and inclusive space for the LGBTQ+ community in the East Coachella Valley. We are currently open Monday – Fridays from 9-4PM with some evening and weekend programming.
