The GLBTQ Centre was established 20 years ago, in 1992. Evolving from the GLB Centre to the GLBT Centre in 1995, and now to the GLBTQ Centre for Sexual and Gender Identity, everyday we seek to continue to diversify our programming and remain accessible for all students at Carleton University.

The GLBTQ Centre aims to be a safe space for all people and is dedicated to raising awareness about queer issues at Carleton and beyond. We seek to address homo-phobia, bi-phobia and trans-phobia through educational workshops, speaking engagements, campaigns, lobbying efforts and special events. Each year The Centre hosts numerous events with something for everyone. You do not need to identify, or ‘label’ yourself in any way to participate in our annual highly anticipated events such as our Safer Sex and Venus Envy workshops, or Drag Show competition.

The Centre operates on a strict Safe(r) Space Policy and asks that all visitors, members and volunteers respect it, and do their part to ensure that the Carleton GLBTQ Centre is a safe space for everyone. The Centre also provides you with an extensive resource library open to all students, confidential peer support, safer sex kits, free condoms and dental dams, and a welcoming environment. The Centre always welcomes new members and allies from on and around the Carleton campus, and maintain a space where everyone can come together and express themselves while feeling safe and comfortable.

Get Involved

There are many exciting ways to get involved in The GLBTQ Centre and everyone is invited to participate. Check out below to see some of our volunteer opportunities:

Volunteer
Our volunteers keep our doors open to provide the desperately needed support services for students. They also help facilitate, plan and organize events throughout the year. Volunteers are required to undergo Carleton University Safe Space Training, and Office Training before becoming a key holder for The Centre. This position is available for the Carleton Co-curricular Record.

General Membership Collective
Every member has a vote in The Centres activities and general direction with coordinators having veto power. This allows all members to have direct input in The Centres yearly planning and volunteer opportunities.  Within the Collective, Events Committees regarding large scale events like Ottawa Pride, Campus Pride and the Volunteer Gay-la are created. Join our mailing list to stay up to date on meeting times.
