For Older Adults: West of 50

Welcome to West of 50!

West of 50 is a welcoming space to take an engaging class, try a new activity, attend a fun event, or find social support. The program is designed for older adults (age 50+) in the LGBTQ+ community and their allies.

25% of The Center's visitors participate in one of our programs for older adults—come join our warm, supportive community. Stop to attend one of the many social, educational and support programs that we offer at The Center.

Introducing Pride Compass: Case Management

Through Pride Compass, our West of 50 team provides free, short-term case management services to help adults ages 50 and better maintain their independence in the community.

Our team connects individuals with essential resources such as community benefits, healthcare, transportation, mental health support, and provides assistance with housing options and employment opportunities.
