Our Mission

The Coalition for LGBTQ+ Students is a forum in which citizens who work or live in Anne Arundel County and who are committed to equality for all and to promoting LGBTQ+ rights can connect and become a voice in the community. 

Our mission is to provide support to the LGBTQ+ community and especially to LGBTQ+ youth through education, policy and advocacy. We work to promote legislation, policy and social change that protects the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ community and enhances the quality of life for all. We are an inclusive and accepting group, seeking to support people on their journey to be their authentic selves, and not to change them or their journey. We are committed to the work of anti-racism and acknowledging intersectionality and social location.

The Coalition collaborates with many other organizations including social and racial justice groups, One Pasadena, Human Rights Commission, Annapolis Pride, GLSEN, the local school system, Anne Arundel County government, and Maryland State government.  Our Coalition is welcoming to all who share our mission and who agree to follow our ground rules.
