Our three core program areas include: 

Queer and Allied Youth Program: (Check out our resources_page)
We create, implement and sustain programs that support queer youth and their allies in Central Oregon.

• We organize the Central Oregon Gay Straight Alliance, a youth led program where young people organize events, educate the community, and advocate for issues important to queer youth.
• We organize QYS, a safe space for queer youth and their allies to support each other and hang out.
• We collaborate with community partners including Baisc Rights Oregon, Oregon Safe Schools and Communities Coalition, Planned Parenthood, and Oregon GSA Network to promote a safe environment for queer youth and their allies in the schools and in the greater community.

Community Outreach and Education:

• We offer opportunities to actively create positive change in our community and provide opportunities that promote diversity and create safe space for sexual and gender minorities and their allies.
• We provide volunteers and interns opportunities to work within a community based advocacy organization.
• We offer anti-oppression/cultural sensitivity trainings to community groups.
• We work in coalition with other social and environmental justice groups to further our mission and build the movement for progressive change. 
• We respond to injustice at the local, state, and national levels. 

HDC Organizational Structure:
