Senior Director of Behavioral Health at The LGBT Center
3 weeks ago
Since its founding in 1983, The LGBT Community Center (The Center) has been a place of hope and a refuge for the LGBTQ+ community in New York. The Center is today - as it was then - a place of safety, connection, activism, and joy.
The Center is a welcoming and inclusive space that offers a comprehensive array of services, both in-person and online. Each week, approximately 6,000 people come through The Center’s doors or sign online to participate in a range of programs, with 400 different support and social groups per month, as well as numerous special events. The Center also provides safe, nonjudgmental space for people to gather without programming, in the garden, the cafe, and the Cyber Center. Among the many programs, youth can find a variety of activities in a dedicated youth-only wing, adults and youth can access career coaching and training programs to support economic advancement, and there is currently a licensed outpatient substance use clinic onsite and a licensed mental health clinic is slated to open in 2024.
For 40+ years, The Center of New York has served as an anchor institution for the LGBTQ+ community and as a leading nonprofit organization, both in New York City and nationally. The Center provides a place to connect and engage, find camaraderie and support, and celebrate the vibrancy and growth of the LGBTQ+ community.

___________________________________________________________________________________________
The Center was born of community activism in response to the AIDS epidemic, ensuring a place for LGBTQ+ people to access information, care, and support that they were not receiving elsewhere. We opened in 1983 to help people who had doors constantly closed in their faces, ostracized by family, friends, and shunned by the general society. Since that time, we have continually provided a wide array of services and programs to serve our community, with an intentional focus on providing support to those who are most vulnerable. We have always taken great care to be a space that responds to community need; engaging in diversity, equity and inclusion work is another outgrowth of those ongoing efforts. We recognize that in order to help LGBTQ+ individuals and our diverse community achieve parity in health, justice, opportunity, and success outcomes, our organization must hold a strong foundation and competency in, as well as invest organizational focus on, equity and inclusion frameworks, practices, and policies. This is also true in our hiring and retention of staff.
The Center is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
