Who Are We?
Destination Tomorrow is a grassroots agency and the LGBTQ+ center of the Bronx borough. It is our belief that no individual should have to leave his, her, or their neighborhood to access LGBTQ+ specific services.
It is our belief that all LGBTQ+ young people deserve a space to grow, learn, and flourish. It is our belief that people, regardless of their sexual identity or gender expression, deserve a space they can call their own.
Through its comprehensive programming and services - both in-house and referral based, we work diligently to make sure Bronx LGBTQ+ community members, and those who love and support them, have this space. We also offer capacity building to agencies who wish to work with LGBTQ+ communities but lack the cultural competency, expertise, and space to do so.
Mission:
At Destination Tomorrow: The Bronx LGBTQ+ Center believe that it is more helpful to empower our most vulnerable TLGBQ+ community members in a way that takes them off the path of needing emergency care; therefore, our organization emphasizes economic, social, and mental empowerment through a variety of holistic educational, financial, support-based, housing, and health programs.
Vision
As we provide consistent, necessary, and empowering resources to LGBQT+ clients, we envision a future with and for them that avoids crisis situations through action plans and connection to community.
Destination Tomorrow has grown from nine employees in January 2021 to
95 employees in five office locations in three cities in 2024.
