Mission Statement
The mission of the Pride Center of New Jersey is to provide a safe and welcoming place for all in the LGBTQ+ community, especially our youth, to come for support, education/health education, and social opportunities to help grow in self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-esteem, in order to live healthier and happier lives with equality and social justice. We provide comprehensive programming and resources to foster the health and well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals and serve to normalize their lives and existence in a safe and supportive environment - when some are perhaps not even welcome or accepted in their own families. We have helped save lives by not only giving hope, but also happiness as an alternative to living in secrecy, shame, or worse, giving up on life.
