UCLA LGBTQ Campus Resource Center

The LGBTQ Campus Resource Center provides UCLA students with resources that enable them to thrive both academically and socially. 

Our critical services that support LGBTQIA students in their multiple identities include:

  • Community-building activities
  • Drop-in hours with LGBTQIA-affirming counselors
  • Meal vouchers for students with food insecurity
  • Free access to gender-inclusive safer sex and menstrual supplies
  • Education and training for students, staff, faculty, and University policymakers about LGBTQIA identities

On the national level, LGBTQIA students face unique and pressing challenges as compared to their straight and cisgender peers, including:

  • Lack of personal and financial support from families or origin, leading students to experience an economic crisis or face food and housing insecurities.
  • Discrimination based on their multiple identities, including racism, xenophobia, and sexism, in addition to their LGBTQIA identity.
  • Limited access to LGBTQIA mentors and role models can hinder career development opportunities and professional connections.

The LGBTQ Campus Resource Center provides support to the UCLA community with very limited university funding. By giving to this Spark campaign, you will address the needs of LGBTQIA students and expand the resources and programs provided by the Center.

The ability to provide LGBTQIA students with these critical and affirming programs and services are made possible through your donations. Thank you for supporting and empowering LGBTQIA students to actualize their visions of an even more inclusive campus by contributing to our Spark Campaign. 

Please share our Spark campaign with your friends, families, and networks. Every little bit helps us reach our goal!
