Chippewa Valley LGBTQ-plus We are an LGBTQ+ Center serving communities in and around the Chippewa Valley, Wisconsin email [email protected] for more information

We aim to provide services and create educational programs that promote well-being and unity within & among the LGBTQ+ communities. We work to promote understanding, tolerance, and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ communities and of individuals within those communities in the Chippewa Valley region. Through efforts like our annual Pride celebration and Q***r Prom, and our participation in area gatherings and events, we hope not only to normalize q***rness in the Valley but to provide spaces for LGBTQ+ people to meet safely in joy and solidarity. By building resources like our lending library and upcoming Chippewa Valley resource guide, we attempt to connect community members with the tools to live openly and fully, from finding affirming and effective healthcare to being able to experience the vibrant landscape of q***r art and expression.
​
We also strive to connect local LGBTQ+ people to social opportunities and engagement through support and interest groups like our teen hangouts, penpal program, gaming guild, and more. Further, we seek to connect outside of the q***r community through involvement with the Chippewa Valley Transformation Project and partnerships with other vital local organizations and movements.
​
And still, our work leaves room to grow, to change, and to continue to push for LGBTQ+ equity in all aspects of public and private life. We encourage community members looking for support, information, or to get involved with what we do to reach out and contact us, and to let us know how we can best serve you.

It’s never too early to spread some holiday cheer!

For the sixth year we are running a Holiday Card Exchange for those wanting to send and receive holiday/seasonal cards.

For many in the q***r community, the holidays can be a difficult time, and we hope to brighten things up by coming together and spreading some love!

Today we introduce you to our final Andrew Cray Higher Education Fund class of 2026 scholarship recipient! 🎒🥳 Meet Tavarius White, a Menomonie graduate who is attending the University of Wisconsin - River Falls to study horticulture. Tavarius says, "My favorite thing so far has been the new experiences. There's been so many new events, that have allowed me to meet these great people and I’ve had tons of fun learning new things like, for example, rock climbing, which I’ve come to find out I’m not too bad at. This HEF award has allowed me to continue to do these amazing new things. I’m allowed to focus more on my homework and educational part of college without worrying so much about the tuition side, but also this award is an honor for me as it allows me to accept something that highlights a important part of me and my identity." You're awesome, Tavarius! 😁

We're so incredibly proud of all the wonderful students who are part of the Andrew Cray Higher Education Fund class of 2026. We wish them all the best on their journeys, and we know they're going to do great things!

The celebration of the Andrew Cray Higher Education Fund class of 2026 continues! 👨🏾‍🏫Our student of the day is Seth Stabenow, a Chippewa Falls High School graduate who is now attending the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, studying graphic design. Asked what he likes about college so far and what receiving a scholarship means to him, he says, "I really like how open everyone is. I feel that it's so much easier to talk to people and form connections than it was in high school. I'm also really digging my classes! My schedule is full of art courses and honors elective classes. I feel so supported as a member of the lgbtqia+ community being given this support and opportunity. It means so much that people are out there rooting for you to succeed." We're so happy for you, Seth! 🥳
