The Pride Center of the Capital Region is dedicated to serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community in the Capital Region. Based in Albany, The Pride Center has been meeting the diverse needs of LGBTQ people in a ten county region since 1970. Our programs, both at the Center as well as held throughout the region, meet the health and human service needs of the LGBT community as well as educate and advocate for those needs in the broader Capital Region. As the oldest continuously-operating LGBT community center in the country, the Pride Center has worked to build a welcoming and empowering community for all people.
