Mission Statement:
The Gay & Lesbian Community Center of Pittsburgh (GLCC) provides gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) individuals, their families, and supporters in Western Pennsylvania with resources and opportunities to promote visibility, understanding and equality within the LGBT communities and the community-at-large. The GLCC will work toward these goals through education, social support, networking and advocacy.
A volunteer Board of Directors oversees the operation of the GLCC. The Board is led by an executive Committee comprised of the Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary and Director of Development. There are also coordinators of the various programs of the Center. In some cases, members of the Board hold these positions.
