Center Tenants
Since its inception, the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center has always sought to provide a home for the birth, nurturance and celebration of LGBT organizations and groups. And still today, the Center strives to further develop our vibrant community through thoughtful leadership, community building and strong partnerships. Some of its most solid partnerships are with the LGBT organizations that are also tenants of the Center.
