In the past few years, the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center has made major efforts to become the hub of our community's LGBT organizations, offering to share key resources like fundraising tools, databases, volunteer management systems, and the like. This is helping all of us better serve our constituents.
As a volunteer for the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center Anti-Violence Project (AVP) I have had the opportunity to witness first-hand the importance of advocacy and support being offered to LGBTQA-identified victims of violence. I recently participated in the Pridefest outreach for the AVP where over 775 peace flags were created by various community members passing through the Health & Wellness Area of the festival. It was touching and meaningful to volunteer with such an organization dedicated to making positive connections in our community and in turn significantly shaping the lives of LGBTQ-people.
