About Us

 
The mission of the Golden Rainbow Center is to enrich the lives of the LGBT community in the Coachella Valley.  A thriving, community-based organization, GRC provides a safe and supportive environment for members to enjoy health, wellness, educational and social programs, where people of all ages and backgrounds are welcome.  We advance our mission through senior programming, a clinical counseling and internship program, a weekly food bank, extensive social and recreational offerings, a free community cyber center, a growing volunteer program and periodic special events in the community.
We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We encourage you to stop by and see our facility!
