We are excited to announce the continuation of the newly renamed LGBTQIA2S+ Pride Program at Mendocino College, serving both our students and allies! We will be offering fun activities, events, and support during these challenging times.


We want to acknowledge the impact of recent events on our queer and trans community and reaffirm our commitment to inclusivity and support. Your presence enriches our campus, and we stand with you. We understand the fear and unrest and want to assure you that our community will always be a safe space, and we strive to ensure that students know we are here for them. Whether you need physical or mental support, our door is always open, and we welcome you with open arms. We are here for you and are dedicated to ensuring a safe, welcoming space for all. Let’s continue to support one another and celebrate the diversity that strengthens our community. You belong here!


This semester, our goals include hosting weekly pop-ups in the Transfer Center, organizing a 2-day queer Summit, holding our first Lavender Graduation, and running The Rainbow Alliance, a student-run club. If you’d like to become a part of our collective, please fill out this short survey so we can keep you informed and updated.
