Thank you for joining us for Pride!
Shape Our Future: Strategic Plan Community Survey
The Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center belongs to this community, and the decisions we make about our future should be shaped by the people who live it. That's you.
This survey is your chance to tell us who you are, what you need, what you value, and where you want us to go. It takes about 10 minutes, every question is optional, and you're welcome to respond anonymously. Whether you've been here from the beginning or you've never walked through our door, we want to hear from you.
New: Free Legal Clinic
Our new Legal Clinic is here for you. Stop by the Community Center to consult with an attorney, free of charge, on the first Tuesday of every month from 5–7 PM.
Get guidance on name and gender marker changes, employment and housing discrimination, family law, and more. Your issue doesn't need to be related to being LGBTQ+ to receive support, and limited virtual assessments are available on request.
