Ongoing Center Activities
Weekly Activities
NEW! Coulee Region LGBT Group for Adults
We have recently formed a group for persons over age 20 to connect with others in the LGBT community. We look forward to engaging in a variety of activities, from potlucks to topical discussions, to camping. Our primary purpose is to provide a safe space where people can meet and pursue activities that they find meaningful. The group meets every week, and welcomes anyone that is LGBT, questioning their identity, or is an ally. We currently meet on Tuesday’s at 6:00 pm, at the Center on 303 Pearl St. If you have any questions or would like to be added to the group’s listserv, please call Connie at (608) 784-0452.
GALAXY
GALAXY, a YWCA sponsored program for lgbt youth, meets every Thursday at 6:00 pm at the Center.
