PAIR Center Day of Service: Penn LGBT Center

Excerpt

PAIR Center Day of Service at Penn’s Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) Center

The LGBT Center enriches the experience, fosters success, celebrates victories, and affirms the existence of Penn’s LGBTQ+ undergraduates, professional and graduate students, staff, faculty, and alumni using the lenses of social justice and intersectionality. Through education, support, and advocacy, the Center cultivates a campus climate where all students, regardless of their gender or sexual identity, can live authentically.

The PAIR Center visited the Penn LGBT Center to assist with cleaning and organizing areas of the Center, including library and lobby closets, and sorting donations for the Clothing Closest. The Clothing Closet is a free initiative, open during the Center’s business hours. All are welcome to stop by and take items from the available selection.

Thank you to the Penn LGBT Center for having us!
