Happy New Year!
To those who volunteered in 2017, thank you SO much! We on-boarded a lot of new people for hosting and events this year and it's been great meeting all the new as well as returning faces of our unstoppable volunteer force!

We relied on over 14,000 hours of volunteer labor to maintain our center, operate our fundraisers and events, supervise our commitees and board of directors and supervise our volunteer program, among other duties.
The Diversity Center is ready to kick off the start of a great year with projects and programs tailored to the needs of the LGBTQA+ community. Whether you were with us last year or you're interested in joining us this year, check out the volunteer opportunities coming up this month!
