Westside Queer Resource Center
creating & sustaining an environment where everyone belongs and is supported on their journey.
Founded in 2019 by a group of community members who recognized a need for an inclusive space in the community, the Westside Queer Resource Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization serving the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in and around Washington County, Oregon.
The mission of the Westside Queer Resource Center is to foster a welcoming, supportive and safe environment for the LGBTQAI+ community, their families and allies by providing programs, education, advocacy and resources. We strive to embrace intersectionality and adapt to the needs of our diverse community through collaborative efforts.
The vision of the WQRC is to create & sustain an environment where everyone belongs and is supported on their journey.
