Welcome!
The mission of Family Matters, a program of the San Diego LGBT Community Center, is to enhance and sustain the health and well-being of families with one or more parents who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender and to provide information, resources and support for those considering parenthood.
Our family matters.
Family Matters serves approximately 400 LGBT parents and their children (of all ages) each month. It offers support and educational opportunities for parents and prospective parents, playgroups and social opportunities for families throughout San Diego County, and an annual family celebration, the Family Barbecue.
Equally important as its full range of programming, Family Matters provides all children growing up in LGBT-headed families a place to see other families like theirs. That recognition, along with the support and affirming environment Family Matters offers our families, is vitally important to the development of our children.
Family Matters has an advisory council that meets regularly to help with programming and planning educational and social events. If you are interested in joining the Advisory Council or volunteering, contact the Family Matters coordinator at (619) 692-2077, ext. 121 or families@thecentersd.org.
