Queer Eugene is a community-based organization started in 2021. Our mission is organizing support, resources, and community for queer folks in the state currently known as Oregon. The 3 areas we focus on are Resources, Education, and Community. We do our work through community partnership- Queer Eugene is run for the community by the community!

-The space is generally open Monday-Thursday 9:00am-5:00pm, with the exception of 12:00-1:00pm
-Fridays are by appointment only.
-The Lavender Network will be available only by appointment December 23rd to January 3rd.
