Resources in Kansas
Our mission is to educate employers, law enforcement, and the general public about LGBTQIA+ issues, work with organizations and individuals to help bring resources to Kansas communities, and assist community members in using their skills to help others and spread awareness.
Our organization seeks to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ people in Kansas. Therefore, programs will grow and change over time. We are a membership-based organzation that uses our member's input for program ideas and development. As state and federal laws change, young queer people age up, and awareness grows, we hope to continue fighting for your -- our -- needs.
