What We Do
The Stonewall Alliance Center offers a range of services to help connect people to their community. Volunteers staffing the Center provide information on activities and events and offer referrals for services. Our Education & Outreach give community members access to the Harlan Adams Memorial Library, Out Education classes, and we deliver speaker’s panels to local colleges and presenters to area organizations and groups.
SAY! Stonewall Alliance Youth operate two groups with discussions and activities. SAY! Teens is for under 18 year olds and SAY! Twenties are for 18-29 year olds. Our Social & Recreation program has discussion groups, monthly women’s potlucks and dinner out, a men’s dinner group, co-ed activities and special events like our two annual benefits, Hot Summer Feast and the Winter White Party.
Besides our formal programs, Center volunteers mobilize community response to specific events or challenges. Examples include an assault and rape on a community member outside a local bar, and political attacks from a city council member. Statewide anti-gay initiatives trigger education campaigns to get people informed and promote voter registration. Domestic Violence, aging, anti-tobacco and anti-drug campaigns all deliver their message through the Stonewall Alliance Center.
