Leadership LAB - Los Angeles LGBT Center

Leadership & Advocacy

The Los Angeles LGBT Center is one of the leading organizations advancing civil rights and freedoms for LGBT people.

By mentoring and developing a new generation of leaders, domestically and internationally, we’re strengthening the global LGBT movement while we educate the public about LGBT issues, mobilize constituents, advance policy initiatives, and work with political leaders throughout the U.S. to promote equality and justice for LGBT people.

In schools throughout the country we’re leading efforts to help end anti-LGBT bigotry and even the thought of suicide among LGBT students. We’re also working to revolutionize the care and treatment of LGBT foster youth.

Throughout California we train social service providers, caregivers for seniors, government agencies, law enforcement officials, and others to help them better serve the diverse LGBT community.

Meet Margaret

I was looking for peace. I found the Center and have never left.

We’re helping to transform the way communities throughout the country connect with voters.

The Los Angeles LGBT Center’s Leadership LAB (Learn Act Build) specializes in deep canvassing and organizing through volunteer leadership development. We work to empower volunteers to connect the personal to the political with voters in order to make long-term, meaningful impacts on elections. Our current campaign is focused on investing in low turn-out voters and their stories to strengthen their commitment to voting this year and beyond. Anyone regardless of political or canvassing experience is encouraged to volunteer!
