Following Pride season, Collar City Pride reminds folks that we are more than just a festival. We're an organization led by LGBTQIA2+ individuals, focusing on substance-use services tailored to the queer community. Through advocacy, education, and partnerships, we aim to create an inclusive county where LGBTQ+ individuals affected by addiction can thrive in supportive environments and access quality care.

Your input matters!

Bring your ideas and concerns about CCP’s programs. All Rensselaer County residents, LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, and service providers are welcome. Nonprofits belong to the community—we're here to listen.
