LOWER SHORE
LGBTQ
COALITION
HISTORY
MISSION STATEMENT
COALITION MEMBERS
The Lower Shore LGBTQ Coalition
was established in May 2013 by
several local service agency
workers and Salisbury University
students after attending the Annual
Conference, “Issues Impacting
Mental Health of the LGBT
Population”. The conference
created an overwhelming
awareness regarding the lack
of resources and support on the
Lower Shore of Maryland and
the need to address this concern.
The Lower Shore Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender,
Queer/Questioning
Coalition seeks to improve
and preserve the well-being
of youth and young adults
through support,
education and advocacy.
The Lower Shore LGBTQ Coalition
includes individuals from local
Core Service Agencies, Health
Departments, Behavioral Health
Agencies, Staff and Students from
local colleges and universities,
Faith Based Communities, and
other community members who
support our mission.
We are comprised of multi-cultural
and diverse backgrounds including
age, gender, sexual orientation,
race, ethnicity and religion.
Our primary goal is to support
LGBTQ youth and young adults by
reducing intolerance and
enhancing acceptance.
MEETINGS
The Lower Shore LGBTQ Coalition
meets on the third Tuesday each month.
The Coalition welcomes new
members to join our efforts to
advocate, educate, and support the
youth and young adults in Wicomico,
Worcester and Somerset counties in
the state of Maryland.
