OutReach PROMOTING EQUALITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR LGBT PEOPLE
SOUTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN’S LGBT COMMUNITY CENTER
600 WILLIAMSON ST, STE P-1 | MADISON WI 53703 | 608.255.8582
WWW.LGBTOUTREACH.ORG 26 Spring 2013 - Spring 2014 OutReach Directory
June 2013 Welcome to the 2013 OutReach Directory, our 23rd edition of this publication. Our Directory provides a lot of information for our community: listings of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) supportive non-profit community groups, advertisements from hundreds of LGBT supportive businesses, and additional governmental and national LGBT group listings. OutReach and our parent organizations The United and Madison Gay & Lesbian Resource Center have served as Madison and south-central Wisconsin’s LGBT Community Center since 1973. After working together for decades, the two groups merged in 1998 and moved to our current location at the Gateway Mall in Madison. This year we are celebrating our 40th Anniversary of service! OutReach’s mission is to “promote equality and quality of life for LGBT people.” Our vision is “to create a community where the presence and contributions of LGBT people are celebrated, where intolerance is challenged and defeated, where justice prevails, and where civil rights of all people are valued and respected.” One of the important services we have provided for decades is resource identificationand referral, and the Directory is one of the keystones of that program. OutReach Program Services include: • Resource Identification and Referral — We provide a wide array of LGBT print material at our office and community event tables, referrals by phone and in person, cyber-center access, websites, Facebook pages, and our Center Connection E-Newsletter. • Earl Greely Memorial Library — We make available to the public one of the largest LGBT libraries in the Midwest with more than 6,000 volumes, including fiction and non-fiction. • Publications — Our monthly Calendar & Guide and annual Directory as well as other print material. • Peer Counseling — Support by phone or in-person with our front desk volunteer and paid staff. • Social and Support Groups — 25 LGBT social/support groups currently meet at OutReach, including OutReach programs and community groups. • Speaker’s Bureau — Our panels of volunteer speakers travel throughout south-central Wisconsin, speaking to schools, businesses, governmental entities, and civic groups about many aspects of LGBT life, rights, and culture. Our LGBT 101 presentations provide a more formal in-service on LGBT issues for employee and professional associations. For more info: www.lgbtoutreach.org.

• OutThere (18-24 year old) social/support group — This group meets weekly for movies, discussion, field trips, parties, and other social activities. HIV prevention and other health topics are regularly addressed. • Health Services — We offer support groups, referrals, and in-services for mental health, domestic violence, alcohol and other drug addiction (AODA), and other issues in collaboration with Diverse & Resilient, Domestic Abuse Intervention Services, UW Counseling Psychology Department, and other providers. • LGBT Senior Alliance — A co-operative project with the Madison Senior Center, this program offers the Gay & Gray discussion group, quarterly social events, Share the Care Station, Folk singing group, youth and senior mentoring project, and our new LGBT Senior Advocate staff position. • Advocacy — We act as an advocate for many clients that face discrimination. • Umbrella Services and Mailboxes — OutReach provides administrative support and lends our non-profit status to several smaller groups, including Madison Area Transgender Association and Wisconsin Books to Prisoners projects. We also provide free mailboxes to several community groups including Frontiers and the Madison Gay Hockey Association. We are proud to lead an organization that does so much for so many. Last year we served over 3,000 individual clients, and provided more than 24,000 client contacts to these individuals. We encourage you to stop by our center for information, to join a group, or check out a book. Also, please consider making a generous financial contribution or contributing your time and talents as a volunteer for OutReach LGBT Community Center. We hope the OutReach Directory will be a valuable resource for you and your family throughout 2013 and into 2014. Please support the businesses and nonprofit organizations that you find in this book and when you use their services let them know you found them through our publication.

National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Organizations Center Link CenterLink is the national association of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community centers. It was founded in 1994 as a member-based coalition to support the development of strong, sustainable LGBT community centers. The organization has played an important role in supporting the growth of LGBT centers across the country and addressing the challenges they face, by helping them to improve their organizational and service delivery capacity and increase access to public resources. Based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, CenterLink works with other national organizations to advance the rights of LGBT individuals and to provide LGBT community centers with information and analysis of key issues. Serving over 200 LGBT community centers across the country in 46 states and the District of Columbia, as well as centers in Canada, Israel, Mexico, China and Peru, CenterLink assists newly forming community centers and helps strengthen existing LGBT centers, through networking opportunities for center leaders, peer-based technical assistance and training, and a variety of capacity building services. Our efforts are based on the belief that LGBT community centers are primary change agents in the national movement working toward the liberation and empowerment of LGBT people. Serving over 600,000 people, they are the heart and soul of the LGBT movement and are vital to our current well-being and dreams for the future. Whether they provide direct services, educate the public or organize for social change, community centers work more closely with their LGBT constituency and engage more community leaders and decision-makers than any other LGBT network in the country. email: CenterLink@lgbtcenters.org web: www.lgbtcenters.org P.O.
