The Pride Community Center of the Tri-Cities is dedicated to providing a safe space to foster the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of individuals in the LGBTQIA+ communities of the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas.
It is our dream to create a positive visible presence for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning, intersex, asexual/aromantic/agender (LGBTQIA+) community in the Tri-Cities of East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.
We opened a physical space in downtown Johnson City in 2019 (King Centre 300 E Main St) Our intention is for the PCC to function as a safe space to gather, nurture, empower, and share one’s experiences. We are creating an environment that fosters understanding, education, acceptance, advocacy, and growth, this will be a place where we can nurture and bring together our LGBTOIA+ community and explore the many possibilities of personal growth. The Pride Community Center will be a space in which we can gather socially, hold meetings, have functions, and pool all the resources of the LGBTQIA+ community. The PCC will provide information on pertinent issues, such as gay-owned or operated businesses, gay-friendly businesses, hotlines LGBTQIA+ groups, support groups, LGBTQIA+ activities and events, and LGBTQIA+-friendly services. Please help us make this dream a reality for our LGBTQIA+ community by donating to this worthy and much-needed endeavor.
