July 2018 

Welcome to the 2018-2019 OutReach Directory. Our Directory provides a lot of 

information for our community: listings of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and 

transgender (LGBT) supportive non-profit community groups, advertisements 

from hundreds of LGBT supportive businesses, and additional governmental 

and national LGBT group listings. 

OutReach and our parent organizations The United and Madison Gay & 

Lesbian Resource Center have served as Madison and south-central Wisconsin’s 

LGBT Community Center since 1973. After working together for decades, the 

two groups merged in 1998 and moved to our longtime location at the Gateway 

Mall in Madison. In June of 2016 we moved our location to 2701 International 

Lane, Ste 101, Madison WI 53704. 

OutReach’s mission is to “promote equality and quality of life for LGBT people 

through community building and human services.” Our vision is “to create a 

community where the presence and contributions of LGBT people are celebrated, 

where intolerance is challenged and defeated, where justice prevails, and 

where civil rights of all people are valued and respected.” 

One of the important services we have provided for decades is the Directory. 

OutReach Program Services include: 

• Resource Identification and Referral — We provide a wide array of LGBT print 

material at our office and community event tables, referrals by phone and in 

person, cyber-center access, websites, social media, and our Center Connection 

E-Newsletter. 

• Publications — Our monthly Calendar & Guide and annual Directory as well 

as other print material. 

• Peer Counseling — Support by phone or in-person with our front desk 

volunteer and paid staff. 

• Social and Support Groups — 17 LGBT social/support groups currently meet at 

OutReach, including OutReach programs and community groups. 

• Speaker’s Bureau — Our panels of volunteer speakers travel throughout 

south-central Wisconsin, speaking to schools, businesses, governmental 

entities, and civic groups about many aspects of LGBT life, rights, and culture. 

Our LGBT 101 presentations provide a more formal in-service on LGBT issues for 

employee and professional associations. For more info: www.lgbtoutreach.org. 


• Pozitively Yours social/support group — a safe and supportive place for everyone 

living with HIV and/or AIDS. All are welcome: Men, women, LGBT, straight, 

everyone living with HIV and/or AIDS. Spouses, partners, whether they are positive 

or not are also welcome. It meets the first and third Tuesdays of the month. 

• LGBT Senior Alliance — A co-operative project with the Madison Senior 

Center, this program offers the Gay & Gray discussion group, quarterly social 

events, and our LGBT Senior Advocate staff position. 

• Advocacy — We act as an advocate for many clients that face discrimination. 

• Earl Greely Memorial Library — is one of the largest LGBT lending libraries in 

the Midwest with more than 6,000 volumes, including fiction and non-fiction. 

• This year we will host the OutReach Pride Parade for the 5th year in a row. 

The parade will be held Sunday August 19th and the line up will begin at 12:00 

noon. The kickoff will be at 1 pm. We will march up State Street to the Capitol 

Square, circle the Square and end with a rally at the top of State St. The rally 

will begin about 2 pm, and will include speakers and music. Please join us! 

We are proud to lead an organization that does so much for so many. Last year 

we served over 3,000 individual clients, and provided more than 24,000 

client contacts to these individuals. We encourage you to stop by our center 

for information, to join a group, or check out a book. Also, please consider 

making a generous financial contribution or contributing your time and talents 

as a volunteer for OutReach LGBT Community Center. 

We hope the OutReach Directory will be a valuable resource for you and your 

family throughout 2018 and into 2019. Please support the businesses and 

nonprofit organizations that you find in this book and when you use their 

services let them know you found them through our publication.

National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Organizations 

Center Link 

CenterLink is the national association of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community 

centers. It was founded in 1994 as a member-based coalition to support the development of 

strong, sustainable LGBT community centers. 

The organization has played an important role in supporting the growth of LGBT centers across 

the country and addressing the challenges they face, by helping them to improve their organizational 

and service delivery capacity and increase access to public resources. Based in Fort 

Lauderdale, FL, CenterLink works with other national organizations to advance the rights of LGBT 

individuals and to provide LGBT community centers with information and analysis of key issues. 

Serving over 200 LGBT community centers across the country in 46 states and the District of 

Columbia, as well as centers in Canada, Israel, Mexico, China and Peru, CenterLink assists newly 

forming community centers and helps strengthen existing LGBT centers, through networking 

opportunities for center leaders, peer-based technical assistance and training, and a variety of 

capacity building services. 

Our efforts are based on the belief that LGBT community centers are primary change agents 

in the national movement working toward the liberation and empowerment of LGBT people. 

Serving over 600,000 people, they are the heart and soul of the LGBT movement and are vital 

to our current well-being and dreams for the future. Whether they provide direct services, 

educate the public or organize for social change, community centers work more closely with 

their LGBT constituency and engage more community leaders and decision-makers than any 

other LGBT network in the country.
