The Pride Center of the Capital Region is a civic and social organization based in Albany, New York, dedicated to serving the LGBTQ community across a ten-county area since 1970. It provides health and human services through programs run at the Center and across the region, along with education and advocacy to address the community’s needs. As the oldest continuously operating LGBTQ community center in the United States, it aims to foster a welcoming and empowering environment for LGBTQ people and their broader community. In recent years, the organization has pursued partnerships and regional collaboration, including joint events with local partners such as Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, and has engaged with higher education institutions to expand its programs and outreach. The Center operates with a small staff and serves as a regional hub for support, information, and community-building activities within the Capital Region.
