We are incredibly lucky to have such an amazing group of volunteers that keep our programs and events going. Their dedication to the Center and its mission ensures LGBTQ+ Chicagoans are able to access the care and community they deserve.

We cannot thank Joey and our entire volunteer community enough! 💖
