Equality Illinois is excited to announce an expanded statewide strategy that includes opening of a central Illinois office and a network of strategic local partnerships in order to better serve the needs and priorities of LGBT Illinoisans.
Equality Illinois’ first strategic community partner is the Phoenix Center, Springfield’s LGBT community center.
The Equality Illinois central Illinois field office in Springfield will open in the fall and initially be staffed by a field fellow, who will build relationships with groups and individuals, train and motivate activists, and engage and facilitate educational, outreach, and other opportunities and programming for LGBT organizations throughout central and southern Illinois.
