Our mission at Pride Center San Antonio (The Center) is to serve the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and HIV communities by connecting them and their families to community resources and organizations related to health, wellness, support, education, activities, and advocacy.

In the beginning, without a physical space or a home, The Center largely organized social events and gatherings throughout the city as a way to fundraise and offer an opportunity for the LGBTQ+ community to come together mostly for family friendly events. Fast forward to today, The Center has transformed into a staffed community hub providing direct services and support through our walk-in community resource center. Services include, peer-to-peer support groups, a youth mentorship program, legal clinics, access to technology in our cyber center, a full suite of training and educational initiatives aimed at building allies and improving the overall quality of life for LGBTQ+ people, a meeting space for other community groups, community events, a safe space drop in center, and a wellness program that provides activities like healthy cooking, yoga, Qigong, and Zumba. In 2019, The Center expanded services to include onsite case management and counseling services available to the vulnerable community members who lack access to healthcare and or health insurance.

The Center remains the only LGBTQ+ Community Resource Center within a 175 mile radius, making us a critical resource hub for not only San Antonio/Bexar County residents but also a resource for the surrounding rural communities, in particular the surrounding 7 counties. We serve all ages. The majority of those we serve are racially diverse and identify as people of color, with less than half identifying as White. Approximately 60% of our visitors identify as gender diverse to include transgender, gender nonconforming, nonbinary, and account for the bulk of our case management and counseling clients.
