LGBT Resource Center at UVA Charlottsville

Since we are located in the Charlottesville area and value the UVA LGBT Resource Center for a diversity of information, it is only appropriate to provide this entry for contact by students and community interests to make contact for potential use of their rather in depth resources. Blessings…Rev. Elisheva

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Resource Center at the University of Virginia supports lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Founded under the Office of the Dean of Students in 2001, with generous financial support from the Serpentine Society, the Resource Center works both to raise awareness and inclusion of sexual and gender minorities and to provide information, referral, support, and programming to the University community. Some programs and services include The LGBT Resource Center Speakers Bureau, Safe Space Training, weekly Coffee Hour, Lavender Graduation, presentation of the V. Shamim Sission Ally of the Year Award, Proud to be Out Week, social/support groups, and free/confidential, monthly HIV testing with AIDS Services Group of Charlottesville.


Located in the center of Grounds, in Newcomb Hall Room 435, the Resource Center is both a physical space and a programming center for the university. Whether you’re questioning, coming out, queer, or an ally, the Resource Center has something for you. The LGBT Resource Center is fully-staffed by UVA students and provides a library of over 300 books, DVDs, and videos for check-out. The center also provides free safe sex materials and resource information from local, state, and national organizations.

Open Monday through Friday, 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
