About
Our vision is to create a community where all LGBTQ+ lived experiences are affirmed, supported, and celebrated.
The LGBTQ Center of Durham supports LGBTQ+ people through services, programming, resources, and support networks that center their wellbeing and allows them to thrive.
Founded in 2015, the LGBTQ Center of Durham opened its doors as the front porch of the LGBTQ community in an effort to serve all the people of Durham. With a commitment to prioritizing those most marginalized among us, Founder and former executive director, Helena Cragg raised funds and coordinated programs to elevate the presence of the Center until recruiting J. Clapp, the founder of Pride: Durham, NC, to be her predecessor in 2019.
Following Jozie's departure, long time Center volunteer and then Associate Director Natalie Watson served as interim for 2.5 years. The Board subsequently shifted leadership models, hiring program directors Vanity Reid Deterville and Raye Dooley to serve in a co-Directorship. Raye and Vanity are committed to steering the Center through a challenging sociopolitical environment while centering integrity, sustainability, and evolution.
