THE CENTER IS THE HOME FOR ORPHANS OF SOCIETY BUILT AND SUPPORTED BY OTHER ORPHANS. WE COME TO THE CENTER FOR EXPLORATION, FOR DISCUSSION, FOR SUPPORT, AND A SENSE OF WELL-BEING LEARNING THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE STRUCK WITH THIS 'DISEASE' THAT SO MUCH OF SOCIETY REJECTS, CONDEMNS, AND VICIOUSLY ATTACKS. WE ARE ALL ONE AND IT IS THE CENTER THAT HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND THAT, DESPITE WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... THE HELP IT PROVIDES FOR OTHERS.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... THE SUPPORT IT PROVIDED ME WHEN I NEEDED IT MOST.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... CARING.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... HELP MORE PEOPLE.
Ways to make it better!
- My experience would have been better if... I GOT TO MEET MORE PEOPLE AS FRIENDS.
- If I had to make changes to this organization, I would… TRY TO INTEGRATE MORE OF THE GROUPS THAT ARE DIVIDED BY SPECIAL INTERESTS AND AGES; FOR SOME SOCIAL EVENTS, NOT THEIR SPECIAL INTERESTS.
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... GETTING THE WORD OUT OF ITS EXISTENCE AND SERVICES OFFERED. AND, OFFERING MORE SERVICES IN THE OTHER BOROUGHS. MANHATTAN IS NOT THE ONLY BOROUGH OF NYC THAT NEEDS SERVICES.
- One thing I'd also say is that... I AM PROUD TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP SUPPORT THE CENTER, WITHIN MY MEANS.
I was a Client Served & I attended the Y.E.S. program for several years until I aged out. I have also attended various other programs within the Center.

The Center is far more than merely a place for "Queer" people to meet and network. The Center is a place for questioning, curious, or newly out people to go to for support, answers, and safety. My first experience at the Center was 7 years ago at the youth program (Y.E.S.). My experience there was not only positive, but shaped how I identify myself within the community. At the time I was confused, and knew nothing about being "queer" or about the queer community. I owe a lot to the Center, particularly to the Y.E.S. program, and I hope many others can have a similar experience.

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center is a great resource for LGBT individuals and their allies. It benefits LGBT community in so many ways from its social events to its educational events to its youth program and health initiatives. It houses a variety of useful organizations and is in my opinion one of the best places to be in NYC for LGBT individuals.

What a wonderful organization for NYC's LGBT Community. I can't imagine what the community would do without their social services, meeting spaces and youth programming.

The LGBT center is not only a great place to meet with community members and participate in great activities, but it symbolizes the diversity and strength of the New York City LGBT community.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... bringing together the transgender community with health care providers that they otherwise may not have had the opportunity to meet and consult.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... ignorance by those who do not realize what a wonderful resource the center is for not only those who identify as lgbtq, but for everyone.
