The 519 is committed to the health, happiness and full participation of the 2SLGBTQ+ communities. A City of Toronto agency with an innovative model of Service, Space and Leadership, we strive to make a real difference in people’s lives, while working to advance equity, justice and community strength.
We respond to the evolving needs of the 2SLGBTQ+ communities, from counselling services and queer parenting resources to coming out groups, trans programming, and senior’s support.
We provide free, accommodating and non-judgemental space where individuals, organizations and non-profit groups can meet, organize and work towards their goals.
We share knowledge and insight gathered on the ground through consulting and workshop services, best practice research and public engagement campaigns.
The 519 is a member of the Association of Community Centres (AOCCs) network, which consists of City-owned or City-managed facilities that are managed, operated and maintained by volunteer Boards of Management,
These Centres are multi-purpose facilities that provide public space, programs and services to meet the social and recreation needs of local communities. They are committed to fostering a sense of community, promoting civic engagement and enhancing the quality of life through their community, recreational and social service programs.
The core administrative activities of the community centres are funded by the City of Toronto while the program component is funded by the AOCC through various revenue sources, such as grants, donations, and fees.
