The volunteers of Peer Counseling have re-imagined our program.
We have spent hundreds of hours designing new processes, updating our resources, and running simulations. Utilizing videoconferencing, advanced voice services and numerous online tools, we can now provide much needed support to our community while keeping everyone safe.
We are so excited that Peer Counseling is operating again, and we hope you can help spread the word. Peer Counseling is available Monday-Friday, from 6pm to 9pm. We offer confidential one-on-one counseling over the phone, referrals to resources, and information on a variety of issues including organizations, support groups, therapists and more.
Peer Counseling is completely free with no appointment required. Simply call during our operating hours and say your first name or “Peer Counseling” at the prompt.
During the pandemic, we can be reached at our temporary number: 267-416-0451

Pride At The Polls
Saturday, Oct.17, 1:00 pm
We know you have a lot of a pent-up Pride, well here's your chance to let it all out! We want every LGBTQ+ person and ally in Philly to turn out and vote like your rights, future, dignity, and life depend on it--because they do! Grab your Pride/Outfest outfit, some friends, some flags, and get your civic booty to the polls!
Featuring VinChelle and Iris Spectre as your emcees!
This is YOUR day to vote. This day is inclusive and welcoming of ALL people.
The intention of Pride at the Polls is to increase voter turnout among the LGBTQ+ community and particularly younger people. If you are a first-time voter, know that you will be amongst your peers in line. Feel free to ask questions! Voting can seem daunting sometimes, especially if it's your first time, but you belong at the polls.
Wear your loudest and proudest Pride/Outfest outfits! We want to be seen!!!
We are still in the middle of a pandemic: Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and stay home if you’re experiencing symptoms!
Absolutely no electioneering (clothes or signs indicating support for a particular candidate or political party) is allowed inside of the election office.
