About Rockland County Pride Center

The Rockland County Pride Center is a 501(c)(3) LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) organization with an anti-racist, social justice mission. Our purpose is to support and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, challenge stereotypes and practices that adversely impact Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer people, and provide a wide range of services to ensure equitable resources and opportunities for all – with no exceptions.

Rockland County Pride Center began as VCS Gay Pride Rockland, part of VCS Inc.’s initiative to implement social justice, anti-oppression programming throughout Rockland County. Rockland County Pride Center became its own independent organization in July 2016, and continues to partner with VCS to provide a critical analysis of the social and political conditions relating to domestic violence, racism, sexism, heterosexism, bias-related incidents and other issues of oppression. Other key community partners include CANDLE’s Youth Pride Rockland program and the Center for Safety & Change.
