For more than 20 years, Rainbow Center has served as a resource hub for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and allied (LGBTQ) community in South Puget Sound. Rainbow Center has daily open hours, where resources—including a lending library, computer and Wi-Fi access, advocacy services, and educational materials—are available to community members. Each year we provide direct services to a thousand individuals, greet almost 4,000 visits at Rainbow Center, and touch the lives of thousands more through events and partnerships. Our Education Program offers high-quality workshops and training opportunities for individuals, businesses or groups that want to know more about how to engage, support, serve and increase their awareness/understanding of the LGBTQ community. Finally, celebrating the LGBTQ community is a huge part of our mission. We host social programs and events for the LGBTQ community all year. We are also proud to host the two most amazing celebrations in Tacoma/Pierce County - Tacoma Pride and our annual Black & White Gayla.
