About Jackson Pride Center
Founded in 2017, Jackson Pride Center has emerged as a vital community resource for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies in Jackson, MI. This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was created by passionate community members and professionals who recognized the need for dedicated advocacy, education, and relationship-building within the local LGBTQ+ community. What began as a response to an unmet community need has grown into a comprehensive organization that honors the unique experiences and paths of every individual it serves.
At its heart, Jackson Pride Center is driven by a commitment to connection and belonging. The organization brings together diverse voices through regular social gatherings, educational initiatives, and advocacy work that strengthens Jackson's LGBTQ+ community from within. Operating with core values of respect, inclusion, equity, and continuous learning, the center recognizes that community strength is built through acceptance and celebration of all people. From monthly support groups to special events and collaborative programs, Jackson Pride Center creates spaces where LGBTQ+ individuals can find community, access resources, and work toward shared goals.
The organization's vision extends beyond Jackson itself—working toward a broader world where LGBTQ+ people and their allies experience safety, health, and equity. Through intentional community building and genuine relationships, Jackson Pride Center demonstrates that meaningful change happens when diverse people come together with shared purpose and mutual respect.
