Discover Safe Space Cumberland

Welcome to a space dedicated to LGBTQIA2S+ empowerment and community resilience. Rooted in Allegany County, MD, this initiative serves as a beacon of hope and solidarity across a region that includes parts of PA, WV, VA, and MD—areas where LGBTQIA2S+ representation and support are often limited.
Our Story
This initiative was founded with a deep commitment to creating a year-round support system for the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Inspired by the transformative power of advocacy and social work, the vision emerged from years of firsthand experience in queer-focused community building. Recognizing the need for safe, affirming spaces in the region, this effort was born as a testament to resilience, courage, and the belief in the strength of collective support.
Guided by a dedicated team with expertise in activism, advocacy, and community outreach, this space remains committed to fostering visibility, inclusion, and meaningful connections. Every individual, family, and ally is welcome here—a place to thrive, grow, and feel at home.
