Hello and Welcome!

Established in 1993, the Ventura County Rainbow Alliance [VCRA] has evolved into a one-stop go-to place for all things LGBT in Ventura County. Registered with the State of California as a non-profit 501(c)(3), we are the only Ventura County community-based organization providing direct client services and programming designed to meet the needs of the LGBT communities and those affected by HIV/AIDS. The agency is currently staffed by full-time and part-time employees along with an expanding network of community volunteers. VCRA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that meets monthly to set policy and strategy.

Our mission is to promote equality through education and advocacy, offer resources and referrals, provide social services, and support activities which enhance the health and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and HIV/AIDS-affected individuals, their families and friends in Ventura County.
