Home of the Akron AIDS Collaborative, our Center is a safe space for Black LGBTQ+ folks, and others, to hang out and find services tailored to their experience. Akron's Premier Multicultural LGBTQ+ Resource Center. Our mission is to broaden the network of caring organizations in the minority community; to influence social norms that contribute to the prevention of HIV/AIDS; and to increase advocacy for social services for people of color who are living with HIV/AIDS, and people who have suffered from sexual orientation stigma within the African American community.
