LGBT Center Awareness Day is an annual day of awareness promoting the vital services offered by community centers and the central role they play in local communities. It is the national day of action focused on awareness around the work of LGBT community centers everywhere.
CenterLink sponsors LGBT Center Awareness Day, which was founded in 1994 to bring attention to the positive work provided by centers. The day was planned to help bring national attention to the Community Center Movement within the LGBT movement, which serves over 40,000 people weekly, and highlight the ways that people can get involved or utilize their local centers.
