THE LGBT+ CENTER ORLANDO, INC. EXPANDS TO KISSIMMEE

Throughout this interview, AC sits down with Tommi to figure out how to build the bridge of the issues divided up in the community between the LGBTQ+ Community and the rest of the world.

In September 2018 The LGBT+ Center Orlando, Inc. expanded operations for the first time outside of Orlando. With help of The Contigo Fund, an initiative of Our Fund and AIDS Healthcare Foundation, funding was secured for the first year of operation. The Center Kissimmee is open 5 days per week and houses Zebra Coalition’s Osceola office, serving youth ages 14 to 24. The Center Kissimmee has a cyber center, library, and offers HIV and HEP C testing 5 days a week. The Center Kissimmee also offers social, support, and recovery groups as well as financial literacy and legal clinics. 

The current schedule is:
