If you have a great idea for a new support, social, sport, or educational program we would also love to hear from you!

  • 200+ family and youth served
  • 200% growth in community engagement since 2019

Support

Findlay and the surrounding villages have a vibrant and growing LGBTQ+ population that can face unwarranted marginalization within their own community. Our groups programming allows individuals to come together and learn from group facilitators and other group members, as well as share stories, experiences and advice. We hope that in any LGBTQ+ Spectrum of Findlay group that everyone knows that they have a voice, they are always welcome, and that they are never alone. Current Groups: LGBTQ+ Youth, Holdin' Space.

Social

Through our work in the community and listening to the needs of the individuals we serve it became clear that there was a deep need in the local area for development of inclusive spaces and resources. Because we firmly believe in the power of community, programs like Queermunity Service were developed to create an inclusive space for our community to gather and access resources with the least amount of access barriers possible.

Partnership

Spectrum is a proud site partner for two different Kinnect programs, housing an OhioKAN Navigator and a YNN Navigator. Spectrum is also proud of our partnerships with Equitas Health to house an Equitas Peer Navigator, and with SafeWorks Syringe Service of Hancock County to serve as a second site once a week.
