LaSalle County Konnections creates affirming community spaces for LGBTQIA+ individuals in rural Illinois, where access to inclusive resources and safe gathering spaces is often limited.
Our LGBTQIA+ programming focuses on connection, belonging, and support — welcoming individuals across identities, experiences, and stages of self-exploration.
As part of our Community Wellness & Education Center vision, LCK is building pathways for affirming mental health access, including space for licensed therapists who are knowledgeable about LGBTQIA+ identities and diverse relationship structures.
We host social gatherings and discussion-based events to bring the LGBTQIA+ community together in a welcoming, open, and accepting environment.
These events provide opportunities to build friendships, share experiences, and support one another in a judgment-free space.
LGBTQIA+ Relationship & Identity Workshops
Various Events throughout year
Interactive events, discussions and workshops focused on building healthy relationships, navigating non-traditional dynamics, and embracing self-love.
