The Palomar College Pride Center is a welcoming space where LGBTQ students and allies are empowered to reach their personal, academic, and career goals. We honor each individual’s intersecting identities through educational and culturally responsive services, advocacy, and community connections. Together, we rise in unity and strength. 

We envision Palomar College as the beacon of queer excellence for LGBTQ student success, personal growth, and community engagement.

Our work is guided by the following values, which shape our culture and approach to serving the LGBTQ community and our allies:

  • Inclusiveness – We celebrate the intersections of identity and our chosen families
  • Attentiveness – We actively listen with care
  • Vibrancy – We energetically foster queer joy
  • Supportiveness – We nurture one another with compassion in a caring space that feels like home
  • Resourcefulness – We provide holistic support and advocacy, equipping individuals with the confidence and tools to achieve their goals
  • Boldness – We challenge the status quo and take transformative action to shape our future
