LGBTQ+ Initiatives & Student Support Resource Hub

Resources

Find ways to support LGBTQ+ students on campus.

Statewide LGBTQ+ Campus Resource Directory

The Statewide LGBTQ+ Campus Resource Directory is a growing, centralized hub designed to help students, staff, and partners easily locate LGBTQ+ contacts, programs, safe spaces, and resource centers across all 115 brick-and-mortar California Community Colleges.
This directory began as a statewide data‑collection effort in 2023, and it continues to expand through annual audits, direct campus outreach, and community feedback. To support easier navigation, we now offer two access points:

A user‑friendly tool that allows visitors to explore the full dataset, filter by campus, and quickly locate LGBTQ+ resources across the system.

A comprehensive, up‑to‑date listing of all known LGBTQ+ contacts and supports across California Community Colleges.

New or updated information can be submitted anytime by emailing [email protected] or completing a new survey form. A refreshed survey is planned for release in the coming year to continue strengthening the accuracy and reach of this statewide resource.
