Affinity Spaces
The New Haven Pride Center’s Affinity Spaces are welcoming, inclusive, and designed to meet the diverse needs of our LGBTQIA+ community. We offer safe, affirming spaces where you can connect with others, share your story, and find understanding and encouragement from people who truly get it. Whether you’re looking for peer support, spaces to talk through life’s challenges, or groups that celebrate our identities and experiences, there’s a place for you here. Join one of our many Affinity Spaces and discover the sense of belonging and community we’re proud to nurture at NHPC.
