We envision a St. Louis where people of all genders and sexualities live with safety, connection, and abundance.
We support and empower the St. Louis queer community by offering peer support, healing services, resource referrals, education, advocacy.
By the St. Louis Queer/LGBTQIA+ community
We are a network of community leaders, organizers, peer counselors, healers, educators, and advocates. Our goal is to build the queer/LGBTQIA+ community’s capacity to thrive in the St. Louis MO-IL Metro Area. We explore various strategies and practices to learn what it takes to move closer to collective liberation.
For the St. Louis Queer/LGBTQIA+ community
We center the St. Louis queer/LGBTQIA+ community’s self-determination and access to an array of resources. We practice, explore, and learn from a variety of strategies to interrupt, prevent, and transform harm – including peer support, resource connections, community education, storytelling, conflict mediation, and expansive avenues to collective healing.
We build relationships to make community care feel more within reach.
