FY2020 V1.8 02/18/2021 from the CEO & Board Chair This Year Will Be One for the History Books

Annual Report FY2020 v1.8 02/18/2021 From the CEO & Board Chair This year will be one for the history books.

On behalf of the board, staff, volunteers, and the thousands of people served by our programs, we are delighted to share Brooklyn Community Pride Center’s FY20 Annual Report.

These pages describe another record-setting year for our impact and our reach, abruptly affected by the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic during the final quarter of the year. What you’ll see is a continuation of the years-long trend of serving more and more people at our Bedford-Stuyvesant home, and then a quick pivot to a new way of engaging Brooklyn’s LGBTQ+ community.

We expect the road to recovery from the pandemic to be a complicated one, but we’re already adapting to a new reality. We are doing more programming with fewer resources than ever before, and that’s thanks to the support from the community toward our vision of providing LGBTQ+ Brooklynites with top-notch services in reducing social isolation, workforce development, racial justice, health and wellness, immigration, and homelessness and housing.

We continue to rely on and value sustained institutional relationships with organizations like the Brooklyn Community Foundation, Citi Community Development, CHUBB Personal Risk Services, H. van Ameringen Foundation, Lyft, Scharpf Family Foundation, Stonewall Community Foundation, Venable Foundation, New York Community Trust, and more. We also couldn’t do the work we do without ongoing support from our elected officials, especially in the last year before we launch the new Bedford Union Armory headquarters (coming mid-2021).

Check our website for current hours of operation and safety protocols around in- person visits or sign up to take part in one of our many virtual program offerings. We hope to see you again really soon.

Thank you for your investment in Brooklyn’s growing LGBTQ+ community!

Floyd Rumohr Sonelius Kendrick-Smith Chief Executive Officer Board Chair

9 BROOKLYN COMMUNITY PRIDE CENTER FY20 We continue to make excellent progress toward the Vision 2025 framework released last year. VisionForemost among our key objectives:2025 we formally signed the 30-year lease on our new headquarters in Crown Heights. Our current Bedford-Stuyvesant location will remain open and become our first planned satellite location. Depending on the circumstances of safety and public health, we anticipate a public opening of the Crown Heights facility in mid-2021.

We also revised the framework to include a sixth program strand: racial justice. While diversity, equity and inclusion have been part of our DNA since the beginning, we recognize an organization-wide need to address systemic racism in our community.

With the addition of the new program strand, we are on track to develop robust programming to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ Brooklynites within the next few years.

LGBTQ+ Job Fair January 29, 2020

23 BROOKLYN COMMUNITY PRIDE CENTER FY20 MARCH 2020 The month began much in the style of previous months, with a packed calendar of services and activities. Unfortunately, on Friday, March 13, the Brooklyn Center was forced to close its doors along with the rest of the City as the COVID-19 pandemic spread. We immediately launched a virtual reception desk, allowing ongoing support for crisis and referral calls staffed by people working from home.

Within a week, many of our in-person groups were converted to virtual groups using technology platforms like Zoom or Google Meet. By the end of the month, we were adding new programs like virtual dance parties and workshop series on self-care during the pandemic.

APRIL 2020 With no reliable prediction on when in-person services could begin again, Brooklyn Community Pride Center began converting as many recurring programs as possible into virtual spaces including support groups, fitness classes, recovery meetings, and more. In addition to the ongoing programs and services, we experimented with many new virtual offerings, including:

• In the Shadow of the J by Lizzi Duff, a virtual reading by a transwoman member of the Center reaching the final stages of ALS

• “Together in Pride: LGBTQ+ Response to COVID,” a collaboration with other organizations to support GLAAD’s star-studded event

• True Colors Day, bringing attention to LGBTQ+ youth homelessness

• Classes in movement, meditation series, and vocal coaching for transgender and gender nonconforming people
