2021 Digital Pride Guide

PRIDE COLLECTIVE & COMMUNITY CENTER
BY: KATRINA KOESTERMAN
Hello! This is your friendly Neighbor Katrina
Jo with another article for the Pride Guide!
This year, we’re talking about the incredible
resources and opportunities available at the
Pride Collective and Community Center. Not
to be confused with the FM Pride Planning
Committee, the PCCC is the fiscal agent for
Pride, Tristate Transgender, FM Rainbow
Seniors, Kaleidoscope, and other local
support groups. We’re also a safe place to
come hang out on the weekends. Please
allow me to gush a little bit about what
we’re about.
The first thing you should know about the
PCCC is that we’re a safe space to come and
hang out. We’re located at 1105 1st Ave S in
Fargo, and our open hours are from 12 noon
to 4 PM every Saturday and Sunday with
some holidays excluded. During that time
is our local chapter of Tristate Transgender,
a local transgender and gender nonconforming
support and social group.
Also meeting at the center is FM Rainbow
Seniors, a group for the old guard, and our
space is open for more support and social
groups as they form! We also work with
various organizations in the area to try to
provide accurate information about local
resources, so please feel free to come in and
ask questions.
Finally, the PCCC is a great place to come
and volunteer. Whether you want to help
organize our growing library and resources,
help plan and organize events, or start a
support/social group of your own, we’re
happy to work with you! One of our biggest
needs currently is finding someone to help
organize and run a group for the Gen Xers
PRIDE CENTER HOURS:
SATURDAY 12-4 | SUNDAY 12-4
fmpridecollective.org
1105 1ST AVE SOUTH | FARGO, ND 58103 | 218.287.8034
you can check out a book from our library,
get some friends together to play a board
game, or just sit and chat and watch TV with
yours truly. Everyone is welcome during
open hours so long as they respect each
other and the community! I hope to see you
there!
Another great thing about the PCCC is that
we’re a hub for local support groups and
resources. Currently meeting at the PCCC
36
and Millenials to hang out and chat. If
that sounds like you, feel free to stop in!
Fargo-Moorhead is and has been good to
our community, and part of that is having a
safe space like the PCCC to go to and hang
out. Whether you want to volunteer, need
resources, or just want a safe space to be,
the Pride Collective and Community Center
has you covered. Please visit us when you
have the chance at fmpridecollective.org
and have a safe and happy Pride!
AUGUST 12-15
