Read on below to see exactly how the Pride Center of NJ has helped shape the lives of people over the years.

Places like the Pride Center, accessible venues for public gathering that are free and non-exlusionary, are precious and I am deeply grateful for the social connections PCNJ has fostered for me over the years. I would be a lot more isolated without it.

Briar (she/her), age 25

attendee of +8yrs

PCNJ has provided an excellent space for me to be my truest self surrounded by other queer people who have common interests and experiences. Not only are the events fantastic, but I have also bonded with other members and regularly hang out with them outside of the groups. I highly recommend checking out PCNJ if you are looking for a good queer space!

Eleanor (she/her), age 23

attendee of +1yrs

PCNJ is one of the first places where my gender was affirmed and respected in a large group setting. It helped me find local community and feel more confident using my pronouns. Additionally, engaging with folx of diverse ages, genders, and sexual orientations broadened my perspective on different life experiences, alleviating feelings of isolation.
