Central Pennsylvania LGBT Aging Network (CPLAN)

The Central Pennsylvania LGBT Aging Network (CPLAN) is a new initiative of the LGBT Center Coalition, aimed toward advocating on behalf of older members of our community and providing social and educational outreach for them. Elders, in particular, have unique challenges and deserve our support and a feeling of inclusion within the LGBT community.

The official mission of CPLAN is to “promote a positive and healthy quality of life for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals in central Pennsylvania by ensuring they continue to be supported, respected, and connected as they advance in age.”

If you are interested in helping with event planning, advocacy, and outreach, join CPLAN for its bi-weekly meetings. Meetings are the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 6:30 PM at MCC of the Spirit (2973 Jefferson St. Harrisburg, PA, 17110). Bring a friend!

Outdoors Group
The group meets monthly to take advantage of the various outdoor activities available across central PA. In the past, the group has gone on hikes, various sight-seeing adventures, ski trips, and much more. Cost varies depending on the activity.

Special-Interest Workshops
The Center periodically offers workshops focusing on special interests expressed by members of the community. We have held a “Memoir-Writing Workshop” series and a “Stress Reduction through Yoga” series, and currently do not have a special-interest workshop series running. There have been small fees associated with these workshop series. Contact Sean Maloney at (717) 920-9534 or smaloney@centralpalgbtcenter.org if you would like to participate in a particular workshop series in the future, or if you are able to donate your time and expertise to facilitate one.
 
Lending Library
Our main office at 221 N. Front Street, Harrisburg contains an extensive library of materials pertaining to LGBT interests and issues. These resources include a variety of books, videos and periodicals. Our collection is a great resource for both research and entertainment. We provide lending services to the entire community.
