SMC Pride Center

The SMC Pride Center is Santa Monica College's LGBTQ+ resource hub, based in the Student Equity Center at the college's main campus on Pico Boulevard. It offers a welcoming space, peer support, programming and events for queer and questioning students, and works alongside the student Gender Sexuality Alliance. While it primarily serves the college community, it is the one openly LGBTQ+ organization headquartered in Santa Monica itself — the nearest large community organization is the Los Angeles LGBT Center in Hollywood.
