Welcome Home to North Star

Building Community, Celebrating Identity, Creating Change

​

Since 2013, North Star has been a vibrant gathering place for the LGBTQIA+ community in Winston-Salem and beyond. Located in downtown Winston-Salem, we offer a safe, inclusive space where everyone is welcome to connect, find support, and simply be themselves.

​

Our mission is to foster community across intersecting identities through advocacy, compassion, education, and service. Whether you're looking for community, resources, or a sense of belonging, North Star is here for you.

​

Our work is made possible by the generosity of our supporters. Your contributions help sustain vital programs, resources, and advocacy for the LGBTQIA+ community. Click here to make a donation and help North Star continue to be a beacon of hope and connection for all.
