About Us
A drive for safe, intersectional, intergenerational 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Eastern Washington and North Idaho is at the core of everything we do. We strive to create virtual and in-person community spaces, build a culture of care, commit to advocacy and allyship, provide education and facilitation services to organizations / individuals, and fill gaps that arise through pop up events.
MISSION
Spectrum advances equity for 2SLGBTQIA+ people through community care, advocacy,
education and collaborating with community groups and individuals who aspire to our
values.
VISION
Spectrum exists so that 2SLGBTQIA+ people are welcomed, accepted, and celebrated
in all spaces. We envision a world where 2SLGBTQIA+ people thrive in community,
where people are loved, respected, and free from harm.

Spectrum Center continues to be the community-focused, community-led, and thriving organization we all know and love. In October of 2024, we transitioned to a four-person Co-Executive Director structure, sharing responsibilities across departments. Our Gender Affirming Products Program received 370 applications —a 65% increase from 2023. We were honored to be selected to host the Youth Advisory Board (YAB). We also brought people together through joyful, inclusive events like Splash Bash, OUT in the Park (in collaboration with INBA), Witch, Please! A Movie Night for a Cause, and Crafts, Queers, and Cocoa—community-centered celebrations that reflect the heart of who we are.
