The Spencer Pride commUnity center is located at 17 E. Franklin Street in the Spencer Courthouse Historic District in downtown Spencer, Indiana.    With the opening of the center in September of 2016, Spencer, Indiana became the smallest community in the United States with an LGBTQ+ center. Our center is the main headquarters for Spencer Pride activities, including our monthly volunteer & board of director meetings.  It is also the home of Iris, the Spencer Pride youth group.

We offer a variety of services at the center, including our Gathering Place & meeting room, which is available free to local, LGBTQ+ affirming, not-for-profit organizations (or other organizations with a not-for-profit purpose).  The Gathering Place includes public access workstations.  The entire commUnity center offers free Wi-Fi.  Our non-gendered public restrooms include a variety of complimentary hygiene & contraceptive products, in addition to baby changing stations.  Health & wellness screenings are offered monthly at the commUnity center.
