About The Pride Center of New Jersey, Inc.
Founded in 1992 as a grassroots initiative and officially incorporated in 1997, The Pride Center of New Jersey, Inc. has grown from a small committee meeting in Highland Park homes to a thriving community organization serving the broader LGBTQ+ population. The organization's mission centers on providing a safe and welcoming space where all individuals identifying as LGBTQ+ can find authentic community, support, and resources. Over nearly three decades, the Center has become a trusted refuge for thousands who may have otherwise had nowhere to turn, enriching lives through friendship, solidarity, and shared experiences. The Center's vision reflects its core values: fostering friendship that creates meaningful social opportunities, celebrating queer history and evolving culture, and cultivating equality through acceptance for future generations. What distinguishes the Pride Center is its deep commitment to being responsive to community needs, continuously evolving its offerings to address emerging gaps in services. The organization operates with an active membership and volunteer base that reflects the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community itself, hosting groups designed and led by community members. Located in Highland Park, New Jersey, the Center welcomes everyone with open arms, creating spaces where individuals can express themselves authentically alongside others with shared identities and experiences. The Pride Center represents more than programming—it embodies a decades-long commitment to building authentic community and affirming that LGBTQ+ individuals deserve spaces where they are celebrated, supported, and valued.
