Pride Center of Vermont

The Pride Center of Vermont, formerly the RU12? Community Center, was founded by two students at the University of Vermont and Middlebury College in 1999.^[1] The organization was run by volunteers until the first Executive Director was hired in 2002. RU12? (a play on the phrase, "Are you one too?") is the only non-profit organization mission-driven to serve lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) Vermonters of all ages. The mission of the organization is to celebrate, educate, and advocate with and for LGBTQ Vermonters.^[2]
