Our Mission:

Southern Finger Lakes Pride supports the well-being of our Southern Finger Lakes LGBTQIA+ youth and their loved ones by connecting them with affirming resources, advancing community acceptance through education, and providing opportunities for inclusive celebration.

Our Vision:

To empower and support members of the LGBTQIA+ community while advocating for equity in our region.

WE STAND FOR EQUITY & JUSTICE

Southern Finger Lakes Pride stands with others for equity and justice and in denouncing racism, intolerance, and exclusion. We believe that taking this stand is not enough. We, alongside our diverse community, have been on a path to identify how to build the core values of diversity, equity, and inclusion into our nonprofit’s operations as we advance our mission.

We believe that embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion as organizational values is a way to intentionally make space for positive outcomes to flourish for our LGBTQIA+ community and community as a whole.

SoFLX Pride supports the well-being of our Southern Finger Lakes LGBTQIA+ youth and their loved ones by:

Connecting youth to LGBTQIA+ affirming resources

Advancing community acceptance through education

Providing opportunities for inclusive celebration

Advocating for LGBTQIA+ families

A heartfelt thank you to Corning Inc. for their generous donations and support of Bloom programs and SOFLX Pride. Thank you for making pride possible in the Southern Finger Lakes.
