San Mateo County Pride Center
The San Mateo County Pride Center, a StarVista program, was born of the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community over the years and stands for equity, inclusion, dignity, self-determination, and justice. Over a decade in the making, the Pride Center is the first ever LGBTQ+ community center in San Mateo County. Whether seeking behavioral health services or gathering in solidarity with others to share stories, build relationships, learn, grow, create, and heal together, LGBTQ+ individuals and communities throughout the Peninsula finally have a space to call their own!
The San Mateo County Pride Center offers a number of community resources and services year-round, including trainings and workshops. Learn more here
