LGBT Network

The LGBT Network is an association of non-profit organizations working to serve the LGBT community of Long Island and Queens throughout the lifespan: Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth, The Long Island LGBT Community Center, Services and Advocacy for LGBT Elders – Long Island, and the Queens LGBT Community Center.

The goal of the Community Education and Training Program at The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender  Network  is to create safer, more supportive LGBT-affirming spaces for LGBT people. This goal is accomplished by delivering educational workshops and trainings for a variety of audiences.  The Network has been creating and facilitating LGBT sensitivity workshops and trainings for the greater Long Island community for more than 21 years.

LIGALY has groups such as the Safe School Team that comprises of student activists that evaluate, direct, and implement programs and services to create safer and more supportive schools for LGBT students and their allies. Other services include: support groups, mental health counseling, an anti-violence project, and help line.

There’s a youth group that meets once a week for programs such as arts and crafts, card games, and movie night.
