Working independently and in collaboration, Out Boulder County facilitates connection, advocacy, education, research and programs to ensure LGBTQ+ people and communities thrive in Boulder County and beyond. Their programs and services include social and support groups, educational programs, trade scholarships and mental health resources, among many others. 

The Center on Colfax is Denver’s LGBTQ+ community center, giving voice to Colorado's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community and playing a pivotal role in statewide initiatives to reduce harassment and discrimination. The Center on Colfax provides a host of free services, targeted programs and cultural events, including social support groups, the Colorado LGBTQ+ History Project, youth and elder communities, special events for the trans community and an LGBTQ+ friendly resource directory. All of their programs can be found on their website.
