Programs and Groups
Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center is dedicated to providing affirming programming, outreach, and services to strengthen, support, and promote equity for the region’s LGBTQ+ community. Our community groups affirm and empower individuals coming together under a common identity or experience, while our health initiatives actively address barriers to care and highlight the evolving wellness needs of our community.
Our youth programming connects LGBTQ+ youth to vital health and social support, providing them with the tools to become leaders and their own advocates. Concurrently, our community cultural events provide access to the arts while increasing the visibility of LGBTQ+ art, film, and literature across the Greater Lehigh Valley.
Please Note: All community programs and events are entirely alcohol-free at Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center unless otherwise specified. For virtual events, live closed captioning is provided to maintain full accessibility.
