About This Cause
The Washington County Gay Straight Alliance, Inc addresses the isolation felt by the LGBTQA community in a more rural area by developing and or promoting Social Opportunities that are inclusive to a wide range of ages and interest groups. These promote social and emotional health and acceptance and include sponsoring a monthly 2nd Friday Nights catered dinner, Trans Peer Group meetings, Strawberry Preserves Senior group, Youth Sexuality and Gender Alliance (SAGA), monthly Smart Recovery group, Trans Family support group and much more. The WCGSA provides Education/Advocacy for the LGBTQA community by sponsoring and/or partnering with inclusive organizations to promote education, understanding, and acceptance of the LGBTQA people in SW PA. Examples: Grant application collaboration with Domestic Violence Services of SW PA; Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center; Pennie program/health insurance marketplace; Hugh Lane Foundation collaboration on youth programming. The WCGSA also provides access to Wellness Resources for the LGBTQA+ community by partnering with agencies that provide professional medical and psychological expertise since 2005.
