The Center is a dedicated LGBTQ+ organization in Palm Springs, California, offering support and connection beyond the city's nightlife.
If you're in Palm Springs, whether visiting or local, this is where you go to connect with the broader LGBTQ+ community. Think less dance floor, more conversation.
They offer counseling if you need professional support, plus a calendar of social programs and events designed to build community. It's a place to meet people, find local resources, and just generally plug into LGBTQ+ life here.
You'll find The Center at 611 S. Palm Canyon Dr, Suite 201, right in the middle of town. It's an important piece of Palm Springs' LGBTQ+ infrastructure—a place for meaningful community engagement, not just entertainment. For travelers wanting a deeper look at the city's LGBTQ+ culture, or anyone needing support while they're in town, The Center is there.

Comfortable meeting room with good monitor and zoom. Great Outdoors Palm Springs meets on the 3rd floor every other month.
Great space for mental health care and community building
Needs better communication. In January of this year I tried to sign up for the food bank, and was placed on a waiting list. Where I've been quietly waiting ever since. Except at some point they got rid of the wait list and didn't bother telling the people on the list that there was no more list. Thank goodness for Find Food bank, they're the real stars.
This is the most racist place I have been in my life. At one meeting of the men's chat group, about half a dozen guys said the N-word and said it was ok to say the N-word. When I complained to the people running the center, they said they were just renting out space. They have since named a Black guy as head of that chat group. But I will never forget how horrible it was to hear the N-word said repeatedly at an LGBT center. Unacceptable.
The staff is amazing.
I’m a newer resident of Palm Springs; and have been involved in various pride organizations for many years. The welcoming staff, groups, and impactful Executive Director all make for an awesome welcoming experience, Welcome especially needed at these timed of hate for our community at large, and the Transgender community in particular.
