The New Orleans Pride Center is Louisiana's only LGBTQ+ community center with a dedicated physical space, serving all ages and identities. In a state where LGBTQ+ rights are under attack and youth mental health is in crisis, we provide life-saving programs that offer safety, healing, and hope. We're just getting started - and we need your help to flourish.

In just our first year, we've served over 2,200 community members, launched free weekly youth support groups, created sober spaces for connection, trained service providers to be more inclusive, and provided a home for 20+ LGBTQ+ organizations and projects. Every day, we see how access to community changes lives. When LGBTQ+ people have safe spaces to gather, share stories, access resources, and celebrate each other, it builds the resilience needed to survive even the hardest times.

The Pride Center is more than a space - it is a lifeline for those facing isolation, discrimination, and despair. Every donation you make helps us expand critical mental health lifelines, keep our doors open to youth and adults who need support, and create visible proof that New Orleans will always be a joyful home for our LGBTQ+ communities.
