Mission: The Lesbian Gay Bi Transgender Community Center of Metropolitan St. Louis ,founded in January 2005, grew out of the need to provide a safe, pro-LGBTQA meeting place, resource center, and educational workshops in one facility. The LGBT Center is comprised of volunteers from the St. Louis LGBT Community who are working to establish 2 full-time and 2 part-time paid staff members to run the daily operations. The LGBT Communtiy Center of Metro St. Louis participates in community events and is in affiliation with the National Association of Lesbian Gay Bi Transgender Community Centers as well as the Mayor's Office of the City of St. Louis. LGBTCCSL's goal is to avoid a lack of available resources and services specific to the LGBTQA community by providing educational information, referrals, discussion groups, workshops and various events in a supportive environment; and to celebrate the diversity within communities so as to ultimately achieve unity and harmony
This organization's nonprofit status may have been revoked or it may have merged with another organization or ceased operations.
As of December 18, 2013, I have been an active volunteer with this organization for 6 months. I have witnessed various community organizations (e.g., Justice Institute, HRC, Promo) as well as individuals of our community benefit from the organization's presence. I have seen the organization have a positive effect on members of the community -- including its volunteers (such as has been the case with me)!
