About Us

The Pride Center at Equality Park will celebrate 28 years of service in 2021. Our mission is: “We provide a welcoming, safe space–an inclusive home–that celebrates, nurtures, and empowers the LGBTQ communities and our friends and neighbors in South Florida.” The Pride Center meets the distinct health, social, educational, socio-economic, and safety needs of the LGBTQ community and our allies.

Last year, more than 35,000 adults and youth attended activities at The Center. The Center hosts more than 65 regularly meeting groups each month. Support, social and educational groups focus on seniors, youth, women, men, transgender individuals, recovery, health, the arts, athletics, spirituality, games, and more. Outreach activities over the past year directly impacted over 125,000 residents and visitors to South Florida.
