The LGBT Center of Greater Reading will celebrate Pride Month with the grand opening of its new Community Training & Technology Center.
Pride Month, a promotion of self-affirmation, dignity, equality and the increased visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, is observed through June.
The center, located inside the LGBT Center on North 13th Street, will build on existing services and help provide education, and developmental and technological services to the community.
“It will allow us to deepen collaborative initiatives with partner organizations to reach broader audiences,” Kai Miller, media contact for the center, said in a news release.
The new center will host bimonthly workshops on topics such as parenting an LGBT child, disabilities and the LGBT community, social justice and other topics.
A grand opening and introduction to the center will be held June 10. Other events and offerings throughout the month will focus on the history of the LGBT equal rights movement and critical points of interest to today’s LGBTQIA+ community members and their allies. A full list of upcoming workshops and other events can be found on the LGBT Center’s website.
