In December 2015, the Foothills LGBT Center was created, which was then transformed into Appalachian OUTreach in May 2019. Both the Foothills LGBT Center and Appalachian OUTreach have maintained the same goal: empower and advance our LGBTQ+ communities through programs, education, resources, partnerships, and most importantly, love, kindness and a respect for all.
We value our LGBTQ+ heroes throughout our history and are especially grateful for the following badass women who influenced, challenged, fought for, and promoted equality and rights for this amazing community: Gladys Bentley, Anne Lister, Ruth Ellis (https://www.ruthelliscenter.org/), Roberta Cowell, Audre Lorde, and of course Jane Addams.
Empower, connect, & support the East Tennessee lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, ally, pansexual, polyamorous, and two-spirit (LGBTQ+) people through the provision of affirming and safe, inclusive and welcoming programs, services & partnerships, which promote community building, resource development, & education for all.
Appalachian OUTreach is committed to serving all members of the LGBTQ+ community in the East Tennessee region & beyond.
Our vision is to impact change for all LGBTQ+ individuals, families, children, teens, & adults living in the East Tennessee area.
Our mission & vision are carried out by passionate, philanthropic members of the LGBTQ+ community who have a strong desire to make a difference.
If you are interested in making a difference as a board member, volunteer, or through donations, please email us!
