Bloomington, it's time.

Protect Our People: Connect, a local 501c3 nonprofit, is putting together a safe, sober, all-ages space to come and gather or sit alone and enjoy being in a queer-centered haven. Additionally, both independently and through our partnerships, we will offer programming, educational outreach, cultural training, and event opportunities to the greater community. For LGBTIQ+ orgs, we will be set up for co-work space and an always-available venue for meetings with site and technical support.

One of the best things about this town is that there are always things going on. In an effort to promote LGBTIQ business, organizations, performances, and people, here is a community calendar of the Center's own events as well as those of, by, and/or for the community. Check them out and support LGBTIQ+ people and their businesses!

Even as we work to create a physical space, we are already creating events that benefit and celebrate who we are! Most of our work is and will be collaborative to help boost those groups and individuals that share the Center's goals and ideals. Check in to see what's new.

The Center lives because of volunteers. If you feel called to help out, we have opportunities for all sorts of talents, skills, and interests. Here, you'll find a list of positions available, and a place to submit your own ideas for how you can contribute.
