Hudson Pride Center

Hudson Pride Center is the largest and only full service LGBTQ+ Center in the state of New Jersey. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-governmental, community organization that was formed in 1993. Originally known as Jersey City Connections, Hudson Pride offers a number of different services, programs and events to a diverse LGBTQ community in the Northern NJ region.

We are a home and voice for the diverse LGBTQ community and our allies that advocate for our physical, mental, social and political well-being. We create safe and vibrant spaces to gather and celebrate our lives. We are dedicated to improving not only individual lives, but also the communities we serve each day through our advocacy efforts and on-going commitment to social and economic justice. We are the place a social worker can bring a youth when they have been kicked out of their home for being LGBTQ. We are the door a person knocks on when they want to feel understood and free of judgement. We are the space where our community comes to laugh and celebrate themselves. We are the phone that people call when they are in crisis. We are a Center that asks ourselves every day how we can help each other feel loved and cherished.
