Peer Groups

The Pacific Center offers ongoing, drop-in, peer-facilitated groups on a range of topics and issues important to our communities. These groups meet weekly at the Pacific Center to provide support and friendship for our community. Suggested donations for peer group attendees is $5 to $20 per group meeting. No one turned away for lack of funds.

Groups meeting at the Pacific Center range in focus from:

• Senior Women & Women over 50
• Bi Women
• Masculine-identified females
• Genderqueer/gender variant
• FTM
• Men of Color & Lesbians of Color
• Men in their 20s-30s & 30s-50s
• Married/Formerly Married Gay & Bi Men
• Partners of Trans & Gender-variant Folk
• Young Women's Group
• Senior Men
• Transgender/TS
